چکیده
Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal tumors and the third leading cause of cancer mortality [1]. Chronic hepatitis B and C, alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) play a major role in the development of HCC. To reduce the mortality associated with HCC, early detection and initiation of curative therapy are essential.

Evaluation of serum AFP (α-fetoprotein) level in HBsAg carrier patients for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common all over the world as well as Iran. The incidence of HCC is higher in hepatitis B carriers and it is highly recommended to periodically screen these patients by serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and liver ultrasound (US) every 6 months. We explore the diagnostic accuracy and the performance of (AFP) in cases of hepatitis B carriers as a scree...

AIM To verify if detailed analysis of temporal enhancement patterns on contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) may help differentiate intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis. METHODS Thirty three ICC and fifty HCC in cirrhosis were enrolled in this study. The contrast kinetics of ICC and HCC was analyzed and compared. RESULTS Statistical analysis d...
