Abstract:
Objective:To assess the value of serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP),protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-Ⅱ(PIVKA-Ⅱ)and glypican-3(GPC-3)in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods:Studies of AFP,PIVKA-Ⅱ,GPC-3 or in combination for the diagnosis of HCC since 2002 were searched in PubMed,Web of Science and Embase databases.The literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the quality of the included articles was evaluated by QUADAS checklist,and relevant data were extracted by Meta DiSc,Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 15.1.The diagnostic values of AFP,PIVKA-Ⅱ and GPC-3 alone or in combination for HCC were assessed with receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:A total of 32 articles were included in the study.Meta-analysis showed that when a single marker was used to diagnose HCC,the area under the ROC curve(AUC)of PIVKA-Ⅱ was the highest(0.88,95%CI:0.85-0.91),followed by GPC-3 and AFP.The AUC of combination of serum markers was higher than that of a single marker,and the AUC of PIVKA-Ⅱ combined with GPC-3 was the highest(0.90,95%CI:0.87-0.92).When a single marker was used for diagnosis,the sensitivity of PIVKA-Ⅱ and GPC-3 were relatively high(0.75 and 0.76),while the specificity of PIVKA-Ⅱ(0.88)and AFP(0.87)were higher than that of GPC-3(0.81).The sensitivity of the combination of serum markers was higher than that of a single marker,while the specificity was not significantly improved.When a single marker is used to diagnose HCC,the diagnostic odds ratio(DOR)of PIVKA-Ⅱ was the highest(22,95%CI:13-36),followed by GPC-3 and AFP.The DOR of the combination of two markers in the diagnosis of HCC was higher than that of a single marker,and the DOR of AFP combined with GPC-3 was the highest(25,95%CI:9-67).The DOR of the combination of the three markers was significantly reduced to 10(95%CI:7-45).Conclusions:When a single marker is used,PIVKA-Ⅱhas a higher diagnostic value for HCC.The combination of two markers can significantly improve the diagnostic sensitivity,and AFP combined with PIVKA-Ⅱ is recommended for the diagnosis of HCC.The combination of all three markers failed to further improve the diagnostic value.
