Objective: The diagnosis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) present significant challenges in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of tumor abnormal protein (TAP), Prothrombin induced by vitamin K absence-II (PIVKA-II), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in diagnosing HCC as well as to investigate their prognostic significance in patients with HCC undergoing transarterial chemoembolization.

Methods: A total of 93 HCC patients were enrolled and 101 healthy individuals served as controls.

Background And Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exhibits a propensity for early recurrence following liver resection, resulting in a bleak prognosis. At present, majority of the predictive models for the early postoperative recurrence of HCC rely on the linear assumption of the Cox Proportional Hazard (CPH) model. However, the predictive efficacy of this model is constrained by the intricate nature of clinical data.
