Hepatoblastoma differs from the adult type of hepatoma in clinical and pathologic features. The ratio of fucosylation of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was determined in seven patients with hepatoblastoma and in 21 infants and children with otherwise elevated serum AFP, using the improved technique o

The aim of this study was to elucidate the usefulness of measuring the fucosylation index (FI) of โฃ-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
## 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
## BACKGROUND. Nodular thyroid disease is a frequent occurrence in clinical practice. The numerous diagnostic procedures available make the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma possible but, if not used rationally, may lead to an unjustified increase in cost with little practical gain. The aim of the c
