Figure 4. The role of serum LECT2 level as a diagnostic biomarker in HCC.

Figure 4

A. Serum LECT2 levels in all HCC patients as compared to patients with chronic liver fibrosis (CH/LC), and healthy volunteer (HV) as assessed by ELISA. (*p<0.01). B. ROC analysis for the utility of LECT2 as a diagnostic marker of HCC with AUC = 0.82. C. Fisher's Exact test shows that based on the cut-off value of serum LECT2 level at 50 ng/mL, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value for the diagnosis of HCC were 59.3%, 96.1%, 97.0%, and 53.2%, respectively.
