Objective To investigate the relationship between the serum level of AFP ,types of DNA ploidy and 5 year survival rate ,survival time in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) in Boluo area in Huizhou City ,and evaluate the prognosis val‐ue of these indexes in PHC .Methods 80 cases with PHC were enrolled in observation group and divided into grade I ,II ,III and IV according to pathological grading .Other 80 cases of healthy individuals ,conducted physical examination ,were enrolled in control group .Peripheral venous blood samples (2 mL) were collected from all subjects .The serum level of AFP and types of DNA ploidy were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) and flow cytometry ,respectively .Results The serum levels of AFP were significantly higher in patients in different pathological grade groups compared to that in the control group (P<0 .05) .In addition ,accompany increase of pathological grade ,the levels of AFP in patients with PHC were increased .The increased level of AFP ,difference of DNA ploid types and pathological grade of PHC contributed great influences on the 5 year survival rate and sur‐vival time of patients .Conclusion The serum level of AFP and the DNA heteroploid rate may play important roles in the early di‐agnosis and assessing prognosis of patients with PHC in Boluo area in Huizhou City .
