The Takasaki General Center Hospital study also on extract Mk615, in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, the application showed  a positive effccts in decreased alpha-fetoprotein level and both the lymph node and pulmonary metastases in size and  prolonged survival in a 60-year-old female underwent surgical resection of a 9 cm HCC in the right lobe(2).
