Excessive alpha-fetoprotein concentrations in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Excessive alpha-fetoprotein concentrations in hepatocellular carcinoma We describe a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma, whose serum concentration of ac-fetoprotein exceeded 4 800 000 ,ug/l and produced an extra band on protein electrophoresis. complaining of severe right shoulder pain and abdominal distension of about two weeks' duration. He had a massively enlarged liver with considerable ...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein Level Predicts Recurrence After Transplantation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of liver transplantation. In an attempt to predict their recurrence after liver transplantation, evaluation of tumor number and size, degree of histologic differentiation, and the presence of vascular invasion already have their importance established. In this context, the role of biologic markers such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is sti...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-specific genetic immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
The majority of human hepatocellular carcinomas overexpress alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Two genetic immunization strategies were used to determine whether AFP could serve as a target for T-cell immune responses. Dendritic cells engineered to express AFP produced potent T-cell responses in mice, as evidenced by the generation of AFP-specific CTLs, cytokine-producing T cells, and protective immunity...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-L3: Useful or Useless for Hepatocellular Carcinoma?
Japan is the only country where alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-L3 can be measured in the routine clinical setting. Since AFP-L3 examination has been covered by health insurance in Japan for over 10 years, it is now routinely measured during general medical checkups for patients with chronic liver disease. To increase the specificity of AFP, the AFP-L3 glycoform can be used as a measure of cancerous ch...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-producing esophageal adenocarcinoma: a mimicker of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a rare occurrence. Elevation of serum AFP is commonly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma and yolk sac tumors, but rarely with esophageal carcinoma. Here, we report a rare case of AFP-producing EAC. A 51-year-old man presented with two weeks of acid reflux and a 35-lb weight loss. Laboratory data were notable for transami...
