Predictive Value of Serum CYFRA  21-1 and CK19-2G2 for Tumor Aggressiveness and Overall Survival in Hepatitis C-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma Among Egyptians: A Prospective Study

ConclusionsEither or both elevated serum CYFRA 21 –1 and CK 19-2G2 levels when added to AFP ≥ 400 ng/ml are specific but less sensitive biomarkers for predicting tumor aggressiveness. These biomarkers can be used independently to predict reduced 1-year OS in Egyptian patients with HCV-related HCC.
