摘要: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B virus, C virus or chronic alcohol intake associated with major risk. Systematic screening for HCC of asymptomatic patients cirrhosis needed earlier detection small tumors requiring treatment (liver transplantation, surgical resection, percutaneous techniques). The recommended strategy among cirrhotic based on regular liver ultrasonography serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) assay. As performance AFP not satisfactory, additional tumoral markers are proposed (des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin, glycosylated AFP-L3 fraction). Currently, diagnosis in includes non-invasive tests (imaging after contrast administration, assay); diagnostic biopsy performed when imaging limited. After treatment, tumor recurrence assessed follow-up (AFP assay and imaging). Despite lack accurate markers, recent developments genomic proteomic approaches will allow discovery new biomarkers primary tumors, as well recurrence. This review summarizes current state screening, HCC, highlights perspectives field.
