| Core Tip |
Compared to alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and ultrasonography alone, the GALAD score, which takes into account age, sex, AFP, AFP-L3, and des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin, shows superior diagnostic effectiveness for hepatocellular carcinoma. However, different groups have different best cut-offs, which supports the idea that a global criterion is inappropriate. Future multi-ethnic prospective studies and integration with imaging (e.g., GALADUS) are necessary for the standardized, cost-effective detection of early hepatocellular carcinoma. |
