Core Tip

Core tip: The results of this study show that the serum glypican-3 (GPC3) level in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization is significantly higher than that in the remission group, and miR-1271 is significantly lower. The combined detection of serum GPC3 and miR-1271 has an important clinical reference value for evaluating the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Serum GPC3 and miR-1271 levels can help determine tumor recurrence and prognosis evaluation.
