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
