Comparative evaluation of multimarker algorithms for early-stage HCC detection in multicenter prospective studies by Jinlin Hou, Thomas Berg, Arndt Vogel, Teerha Piratvisuth, Jörg Trojan, Enrico N. De Toni, Masatoshi Kudo, Katarina Malinowsky, Peter Findeisen, Johannes Kolja Hegel, Wenzel Schöning, Kairat Madin, Konstantin Kroeniger, Henry Lik-Yuen Chan, Ashish Sharma

“…Changing disease etiologies and treatment paradigms have raised questions regarding the utility of AFP-L3 in HCC surveillance. Our work demonstrates that the GAAD (Cobas) algorithm demonstrated good clinical performance and was as sensitive and specific as the GALAD (Cobas) and GALAD (μTASWAKO) algorithms in differentiating HCC and CLD controls, across all disease stages, etiologies, and geographical regions; therefore, AFP-L3 may have a negligible role in HCC detection. …”
