Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive fraction of AFP (AFP-L3), des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP), and Golgi protein-73 (GP73) have been used or proposed as tumor markers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). They were measured in 96 patients undergoing hepatectomy for HCC to investigate their treatment response and association with variables linked with tumor invasiveness and/or prognosis. Values at 1 month post-surgery in the 77 patients without recurrence within 6 postoperative months were adopted as those after surgery. GP73 levels did not change after hepatectomy, but levels of other markers decreased and areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (95% CI) were: 0.64 (0.56-0.72), 0.63 (0.55-0.71), 0.79 (0.73-0.86), and 0.63 (0.55-0.71) for AFP, AFP-L3, DCP, and combination of AFP and AFP-L3, respectively. Cutoff points giving specificities of 96.1% (sensitivities at these points) were: 124 ng/mL (28.1%), 10% (21.9%), and 60 mAU/mL (52.1%), for AFP, AFP-L3, and DCP, respectively. The combination of AFP and AFP-L3 provided a sensitivity of 26.0% at a specificity of 96.1%. The increased DCP value was, or tended to be, associated with a larger tumor, vascular invasion, intrahepatic metastases, and a lower grade of tumor cell differentiation. Although similar associations were found between AFP and vascular invasion as well as a lower grade of tumor cell differentiation, no such relationship was found with AFP-L3. DCP is a more effective tumor marker than AFP and AFP-L3. AFP-L3 showed comparable accuracy to AFP but no benefit was found in their combination. GP73 did not play a significant role in this context. Indices of tumor invasiveness were most closely associated with DCP.
