We report here on three patients with cirrhosis for whom an early recognition of hepatocellular carcinoma was made possible by the measurement of the degree of fucosylation (fucosylation index) of a-fetoprotein. Increased levels of this index associated with a moderate increment of serum concentrati
The aim of this study was to elucidate the usefulness of measuring the fucosylation index (FI) of ␣-fetoprotein (AFP) before the initiation of therapy as a new prognostic indicator for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ## METHODS. One hundred twelve patients with HCC who underwent tran
