Effective Early Detection ofHepatocellular
Carcinoma (HCC)
What is PIVKA-II & GAAD Score?
Early-stage liver cancer oftendoes not present symptoms. Therefore, early screening is essential.
A newer biomarkerPIVKA-IIhas been shown to improve the detection of early-stage liver cancer compared to AFP alone. Patients with early-stage liver cancer may still have normal blood results.
For this reason, the GAAD algorithm has been developed to enhance screening performance, providing earlier and more accurate detection.
