| Core Tip |
The value of Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive fraction of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP-L3) for improving diagnostic accuracy of hepatocellular carcinoma has not been fully evaluated. We investigated performance of AFP-L3 in patients with newly detected liver mass or elevated serum AFP level. In total of 622 patients, we observed significantly higher diagnostic accuracy of AFP-L3 level than with AFP level (P < 0.001). In addition, we developed a novel diagnostic model, AFP, AFP-L3 fraction, and protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) score, derived from AFP level, AFP-L3 fraction, and PIVKA-II level, and it showed significantly higher area under the receiver operating characteristics curves of 0.878 than those of AFP level, AFP-L3 fraction, and PIVKA-II level (all P < 0.05). |
