Des-y-carboxy prothrombin [DCP], a protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-I1 and also abbreviated PIVKA-11, was evaluated as a serologic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Its plasma levels were measured by enzyme immunoassay (E-1023) using an anti-DCP monoclonal antibody in 514
## BACKGROUND. Although the importance of ␣-fetoprotein (AFP) and des-␥-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) in the clinical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been studied extensively, the authors examined the clinical picture of HCC with regard to the state of these two tumor markers. ## METHO
