摘要
Objective: To study blood AFPmRNA expression in patients with distant metastasis of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Using nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (nested RT-PCR) to detect 93 blood samples from human HCC cases. Results: AFPmRNA was detected in 21 blood samples from 72 human HCC (40.28%) without distant metastasis, all HCC patients with distant metastasis were detected with AFPmRNA (100%). Conclusions: AFPmRNA can be used as a distant metastasis marker of HCC.
