The present invention provides markers, kits, systems and applications for screening or diagnosing early-stage
liver cancer. The markers include any one of AK2, DCTN2, DKK4, IFNGR1, TIMM10 or
Galectin4 proteins. The marker group includes any combination of AK2, DCTN2, DKK4, IFNGR1, TIMM10 or
Galectin4 proteins. The method for constructing the model includes the following steps: S1, determining the
training set,
test set samples and validation set samples, all of which include healthy person samples, liver
cirrhosis patient samples and
liver cancer patient samples; S2, determining the
protein biomarker / biomarker group and component weights; S3, training a classification
algorithm using the
training set and
test set samples; S4, using the Youden index as the best threshold for distinguishing
liver cancer and non-liver
cancer individuals, and using the Youden index as the best threshold for distinguishing liver
cirrhosis and very early-stage liver
cancer individuals; S5, using the validation set samples to evaluate and optimize the performance of the classification
algorithm model. The markers provided by the present invention can efficiently and sensitively screen or diagnose early-stage liver
cancer.
