Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Liver Transplantation
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Alpha-Fetoprotein
Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or Antagonist-II
Registration Number
NCT06331260
Lead Sponsor
Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

As key biomarkers in HCC, AFP and PIVKA-II reflects biological features of tumor and has been widely applied for clinical diagnosis. Previous studies reported preoperative AFP and PIVKA-II are related to HCC recipient long-term survival after liver transplantation. However, there is no prospective study supporting these conclusions. This study aims to prospective collect liver transplantation cases from multiple transplant centers and further evaluate the prognostic role of preoperative AFP and PIVKA-II in liver transplantation for HCC.
