AFP and liver cancer: The achievement of a sustained virological response (SVR) (p  <  0.001), albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) grade II/III (p  <  0.001), Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C (p  =  0.005), extrahepatic spread (p < 0.001), baseline AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) level ≥ 90 (p = 0.038), baseline DCP (des-γ-carboxy prothrombin) level ≥ 500 (p < 0.001), and a fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index ≥ 4 (p  =  0.003) were identified as prognostic factors for overall survival.
