Performance of Alpha Fetoprotein in Combination with Alpha-1-acid Glycoprotein for Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Among Liver Cirrhosis Patients.
AIM to evaluate the use of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to combine with alpha fetoprotein (AFP) as part of routine examination in liver cirrhosis patients. METHODS this is a diagnostic study using cross-sectional design. A hundred and six patients were included in this study. Baseline data such as age, gender, AFP, AAG, peripheral blood co...
متن کاملExcessive alpha-fetoprotein concentrations in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Excessive alpha-fetoprotein concentrations in hepatocellular carcinoma We describe a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma, whose serum concentration of ac-fetoprotein exceeded 4 800 000 ,ug/l and produced an extra band on protein electrophoresis. complaining of severe right shoulder pain and abdominal distension of about two weeks' duration. He had a massively enlarged liver with considerable ...
متن کاملAlpha-1-Acid Glycoprotein (AGP) as a Potential Biomarker for Breast Cancer
The majority of plasma proteins are modified by the addition of oligosaccharide chains (glycans) to their surface. The process, known as glycosylation, is responsible for introducing huge structural variation and is important in the determination of functional properties expressed by the overall glycoprotein. Glycan composition and structure can vary widely, potentially showing diseasespecifici...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-L3 and Golgi protein 73 may serve as candidate biomarkers for diagnosing alpha-fetoprotein-negative hepatocellular carcinoma
Currently, there is no reliable biomarker for use in diagnosing alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-negative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Such a biomarker would aid in making an early diagnosis of AFP-negative HCC, ensuring the timely initiation of treatment. This study examined AFP-L3 and Golgi protein 73 (GP73) as candidate biomarkers for AFP-negative HCC. The affinity adsorption method and enzyme-lin...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-specific genetic immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
The majority of human hepatocellular carcinomas overexpress alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Two genetic immunization strategies were used to determine whether AFP could serve as a target for T-cell immune responses. Dendritic cells engineered to express AFP produced potent T-cell responses in mice, as evidenced by the generation of AFP-specific CTLs, cytokine-producing T cells, and protective immunity...
