The level of A-SAA derived biomarkers at different HCC BCLC stages. A total of 96 serum samples from stage 0 (n = 11), stage A (n = 31), stage B (n = 28), stage C (n = 21), and stage D (n = 5) were measured and analyzed. (a) Total A-SAA. (b) A-SAA monomer. (c) A-SAA oligomer. (d) PMCA signal. The statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s Post Hoc Test, where P < 0.05 (*) and < 0.01 (**).
