Diagnostics of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
Hepatocellular Carcinoma is a liver cancer strongly associated with hepatitis B
Hepatitis B carriers are highly recommended to have alpha-fetal protein level checked every six months.
| Level of Alpha-fetal Protein | Clinical Meaning |
| < 5 ng/ml | Healthy |
| 5 to 20 ng/ml | Conditional Healthy |
| > 20 ng/ml | Suggest Cirrhosis or HCC |
| > 100 ng/ml | Optical Analysis HCC |
| > 400 ng/ml | Recommended HCC |
Two devices are available for alpha-fetal protein test:
The critical cut-off of 5/20 ng/ml (device A) and 100/400 ng/ml (device B).
Two devices, two drops of blood and in 10 minutes, you will get a conclusion.
