Is serum albumin level a notable profiling factor for non-B , non-C hepatitis virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma : A data-mining analysis?
Data-mining analysis revealed that serum albumin level is an independent risk factor and the most distinguishable factor associated with the incidence of NBNC-HCC. Furthermore, we created an NBNC-HCC profile consisting of albumin and GGT levels, the APRI and the Brinkman index. This profile could be used in the screening strategy for NBNC-HCC.
Considering the pathology, this case was more appropriately treated with open surgery, although endovascular repair was not excluded as an option.
