Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) messenger RNA (mRNA) in the blood reflects the presence of circulating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and is a sensitive marker of HCC extrahepatic metastases. The specificity of this molecular marker and its correlation with the main HCC clinical-pathological parameters remains controversial, however.File in questo prodotto:
