Golgi protein 73 versus serum α-fetoprotein as tumor markers for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with hepatitis C cirrhosis

Conclusion Serum GP-73 level at cut-off value of 16.25 ng/ml can be used as a diagnostic marker for HCC in patients with chronic HCV. However, it is not superior to AFP as both of them had the same sensitivity, but AFP showed higher specificity. Combination of both increases the sensitivity.
