A multicenter retrospective analysis, including an Exploration Cohort and a Validation Cohort, was performed to investigate the association between DCP and HCC recurrence. Additionally, the PreCar Cohort, a program providing prospective surveillance for early hepatocellular carcinoma, was used to confirm the utility of dynamic DCP monitoring in predicting progression of LC liver cirrhosis to HCC.
