Figure 1 Correlation of Des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) and alpha fetoprotein in hepatocellular carcinoma patients using Spearman’s rank correlation analysis. P < 0.001. AFP: Alpha fetoprotein; PIVKA: protein induced by vitamin K absence-II also known as DCP.

Figure 2 Receiver operating characteristic curve. A and B: Receiver operating characteristic curve comparing the values of two hepatocellular carcinoma biomarkers, des-gamma-carboxy-prothrombin, and alpha fetoprotein alone (A) or in combination (B) in a tumour size of 2 cm or more. Pivka: Protein induced by vitamin K absence-II [same as des-gamma-carboxy-prothrombin (DCP)]; afp: Alpha fetoprotein; combined: Combining DCP and AFP.
