| Core Tip |
In hepatocellular carcinoma, detection and treatment prior to growth 2 cm (Barcelona stage 0) are relevant as a larger tumor size is more frequently associated with microvascular invasion and / or satellites. We surveyed the real impact of the tumor markers AFP or PIVKA-Ⅱ in detecting very small hepatocellular carcinoma with a large number of cases (≤ 2 cm in diameter 394 cases), and found that in AFP 50.5% and in PIVKA-Ⅱ 68.8% showed normal levels. Moreover, 36.4% of the patients showed normal levels in both AFP and PIVKA-Ⅱ. In the surveillance of very small hepatocellular carcinoma nodules the tumor markers are not so useful. |
