Abstract Objective To explore the clinical significance of alpha-fetoprotein-L3%( AFP-L3) with centrifugal column method in the diagnosis of hepatocelluar carcinoma. Methods The serum samples of 150 patients with elevated AFP level (≥20 ng/ml) were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay for AFP and centrifugal column method for AFP-L3,and the clinical value of AFP-L3 were studied in the differentiation diagnosis of hepatocelluar cancer. Results Taking AFP-L3≥10 ng/ml as the diagnositic criteria,the sensitivity of AFP-L3 was 91.03% (71/78)in 78 hepatocellular carcinoma patients and the specificity of AFP-L3 was 95.83%(69/72)in 72 other liver diseases patients. The diagnostic accuracy was 93.33%[(71+69)/150]. Conclusion Detection of AFP-L3 seemed be of clinical value in benign or malignant liver disease.
