Role of Serum Regucalcin in Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Although the diagnosis and therapy of HCC have being improved, the poor prognosis still remains. To reduce the mortality and improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and therapy, it is important to detect the protein biomarkers which are associated with HCC tumor progression and may be useful as potential diagnosis or therapeutic targets.
SMP30 (senescence marker protein 30)(serum regucalcin), which we have previously identiļ¬ed from Guangxi HCC cDNA expression library by the SEREX approach, is one of the hepatocellular carcinoma associated antigens [4]
Serum antibody response to SMP30 in various patients using the methods of Western-blot and ELISA and showed that antibody to SMP30 existed mainly in HCC patients (39.8%), especially in the one with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) negative

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- serum regucalcin in HCC patients [1-12-2016 to 1-12-2017]
This work aims to assess serum regucalcin antibodies level using ELISA in HCC patients to: evaluate its potential role as biomarker in diagnosis. evaluate potential associations of the presence of serum regucalcin antibody with HCC patients' clinico-epidemiological parameters.
