Core Tip
Core Tip: Microwave ablation (MWA) has become an effective modality of cancer treatment, including primary liver cancer. However, the MWA procedure induces a hepatic inflammatory response and injury, which may diminish the efficacy of MWA. Therefore, the discovery of reliable markers to monitor the response to MWA is still needed. In this study, we examined the effects of MWA on the serum levels of Golgi protein 73 (GP73). The resulting data suggest that serum GP73 is markedly elevated in response to the MWA procedure. Importantly, our novel findings may have the clinical implication that serum GP73 could be a potential marker to monitor MWA-induced inflammatory liver injury.
