LOINC description : The overall hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) screening result for an at-risk patient
based on lab and clinical data, such as the patient's biological sex and multiple
biomarkers. The biomarkers may include alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels and the detection
of targeted methylated cell-free DNA (cfDNA) associated with HCC. Examples of methylation
targets include the HOXA1 and TSPYL5 gene. A positive test result suggests the presence
of HCC, and clinical correlation is suggested. A negative test result indicates a
lower likelihood of the presence of HCC. [PMID: 32889146];
