case_images: As shown in the clinical time line of Figure 1, a 48-year-old woman was admitted to the local hospital due to highly elevated serum AFP level during a yearly routine physical examination. After three courses of the combined therapy, the serum AFP level decreased from 748.5 to 12.9 ng/mL (Figure 1) and the tumor shrunk (Figure 3B).
