Patients affected by liver cirrhosis are at high risk for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of PIVKA-II (protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II) alone or in combination with α-1 fetoprotein (AFP), as a screening marker for development of HCC.
