Abstract

Objectives: to evaluate ISG20 protein expression and its clinical and laboratory relevance in patients with HBV infection-associated hepatocellular carcinoma. Material and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study on subjects including 115 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, 100 liver cirrhosis patients and 120 healthy individuals. Result: serum ISG20 concentrations were determined by ELISA method. The results showed that protein ISG20 concentrations of HCC patients were decreased when compared to LC group and HC group (p<0,05). ISG20 serum levels were associated with AST levels and ages (p<0,05). Conclusion: ISG20 protein decreased expression in HCC patients, related to age and liver enzyme activity.
