## 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. Des-β₯-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) is an established marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the conventional enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit lacks adequate sensitivity. Thus, a revised EIA kit with increased sensitivity has been developed. In this kit, the sensitivity has increased
