Abstract
AFP changes predicted the prognoses of patients with HCC beyond the predictions of the Milan criteria. Preoperative AFP (>400Â ng/mL), tumor differentiation, tumor diameter, and satellite nodules were the risk factors related to AFP normalization. The regular follow-up and early detection of recurrent HCCs that are suitable for curative therapies, such as resurgery and radiofrequency ablation, might improve the prognoses. Other therapies, such as transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, might also be effective.
