Diagnostic performance of soluble Axl (sAxl) and α-fetoprotein (AFP) in diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. (A) ROC curve of sAxl in all HCC versus non-HCC. (B) ROC curve of sAxl in all HCC versus chronic liver disease (CLD). (C) ROC curve of sAxl in early HCC versus non-HCC. (D) ROC curve of sAxl in early HCC versus CLD. (E) ROC curve of sAxl in AFP-negative HCC versus non-HCC. (F) ROC curve of sAxl in AFP-negative HCC versus CLD. LC, liver cirrhosis; HBV, hepatitis B virus; HC, healthy control.
