Diagnostic accuracy of serum protein induced by vitamin K absence (PIVKA ‐II), serum a‐fetoprotein and their combination for hepatocellular carcinoma among Caucasian cirrhotic patients with diagnostic or non‐diagnostic serum a‐fetoprotein levels

The combination of the biomarkers presented excellent results in BCLC-B/C patients. The diagnostic accuracy of PIVKA-II and the combination of the two biomarkers in patients expressing low/non-diagnostic AFP levels was good in BCLC-B and excellent in BCLC-C patients.
