Abstract
Background :Golgi protein 73 (GP73) as a potential serum marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been validated in studies.The aim: of this study was to determine the value of serum GP73 in the diagnosis of HCC. Subject and Methods: Serum GP73 and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were compared in a total of 80 human subjects in this study ,(35) with HCC, (35) patients with cirrhosis and( 10) healthy controls were included . Results: Using 10.3 relative units as a cut-off value, the sensitivity and specificity of serum GP73 for HCC were 97.1% and 85.7% ,compared with 57% and 55.6% for AFP (p
