Core Tip	Various techniques are available to quantify serum circulating free cell DNA (cfDNA), some of these techniques require abstraction and purification as there is only a very small amount of cfDNA in the serum. This study investigates the value of combined detection of cfDNA, ?-fetal protein (AFP) and ? L-fucosidase (AFU) for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Quantitative analysis of cfDNA is sensitive and feasible, and the combined detection of cfDNA with AFP or AFU or both could improve the diagnostic sensitivity for hepatocellular carcinoma.
