Des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) is an abnormal form of prothrombin, a clotting factor produced by the liver. DCP can be produced by liver tumors, and levels are frequently elevated when a person has hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This makes the test potentially useful as a tumor marker. This test measures the amount of DCP in the blood.
