Serum levels of des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin measured using the revised enzyme immunoassay kit with increased sensitivity in relation to clinicopathologic features of solitary hepatocellular carcinoma.

DCP measured by the revised EIA kit with increased sensitivity has a stronger correlation than AFP with size and histologic differentiation of HCC. This Sensitive DCP is a very useful marker for HCC and should be used in combination with AFP.
