Hepatocellular carcinoma screening [Interpretation] based on clinical and lab data

HCC screen clin+lab data - Imp

Definition

  • The overall hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) screening result for an at-risk patient based on lab and clinical data, such as the patient's biological sex and multiple biomarkers. The biomarkers may include alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels and the detection of targeted methylated cell-free DNA (cfDNA) associated with HCC. Examples of methylation targets include the HOXA1 and TSPYL5 gene. A positive test result suggests the presence of HCC, and clinical correlation is suggested. A negative test result indicates a lower likelihood of the presence of HCC. [PMID: 32889146]
