## Background: Telomerase activation is thought to be essential for the immortality of cancer cells. we measured telomerase activity in human liver samples, including hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc), and evaluated this assay as a tool for the diagnosis of hcc using 21-gauge (21-g)-needle biopsy spec
## Background: Measurements of serum concentrations of des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (dcp) are widely used for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). however, the dcp is not always sensitive enough to detect small hccs. in the current study, the authors investigated the usefulness of dcp in the
