| Core Tip |
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a widely used tumor marker for both pre- and post-treatment hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. To investigate whether changes in pre- and post-operation serum AFP levels were a predictive prognostic factor in HCC patients, we retrospectively analyzed 334 HCC patients who underwent hepatic resection at our hospital. Serum AFP responses were found to be a significant prognostic factor for surgical outcomes in patients with high pre-operative AFP levels. The non-response group, which was classified as having a < 50% decrease from preoperative AFP levels that were > 20 ng/mL, was associated with poor outcomes. In summary, post-surgery AFP levels are valuable for properly managing HCC patients. |
