Abstract:ObjectiveTo explore the differential diagnosis effect of serum alpha fetoprotein(AFP)and abnormal prothrombin(DCP)on hepatocellular carcinoma in liver tumor patients.MethodsA total of 301 patients with hepatic tumor treated in the Yuncheng Central Hospital from October 2014 to September 2016 were selected as the subject,and divided into hepatocellular carcinoma group(207 cases)and non-hepatocellular carcinoma group(94 cases).The concentrations of AFP and DCP were detected in these patients.The histopathological examination results by puncturing was considered as the final diagnostic criteria to evaluate the differential diagnostic values of two serum markers on liver tumors.ResultsThe AFP level in the hepatocellular carcinoma group was significantly higher than that in the non-hepatocellular carcinoma groups.The abnormal prothrombin level was much higher than that of the non-hepatocellular carcinoma,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The combination of AFP and DCP can rise the diagnostic specificity up to 97.6%.There were 156 cases in double positivity,44 cases in double negative,10 cases in AFP(+)DCP(-),and 101 cases in AFP(-)DCP(+).The sensitivity was 78.74%,and specificity accounted for 81.91%.ConclusionAbnormal prothrombin(DCP)is similar to serum AFP in the differential diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.Combined detection is beneficial to increasing the diagnostic sensitivity and reducing missed diagnosis.
