Table 5. Diagnostic Performance of Serum YB-1, AFP and YB-1+AFP for HCC.

Tumor Marker Cut-Off Value, μg/L HCC Patients Controls, HBV + HBV Cirrhosis + Healthy Sensitivity, %a Specificity, %b Accuracy, %c
Cases Positive Cases Positive
YB-1d 16.0 105 80 100 37 74.1 63.0 69.8
AFP 414 105 47 100 7 44.8 93.0 68.3
YB-1+AFP ibid 105 94 100 38 89.5 62.0 76.1

aSensitivity = TP/(TP + FN), where TP = true positive, FN = false negative

bSpecificity = TN/(TN + FP), where TN = true negative, FP = false positive

cAccuracy = (TP + TN)/(TP + FP + TN + FN)

dAbbreviations: AFP, alpha-fetoprotein; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma
