no afp is not a tumor marker anymore because most liver cancer patients have normal afp and most with no cancers have elevated afp, US every 6 months is the best since real tumor markers available are not used for the costs of tests

US and fibroscan every 6 months is the best now

ast/alt mean nothing as you can see in the forum, the choice to take antivirals and interferon is yours not only of the doctors, you must cure hbv and not liver disease, the goal is hbv cure not giving money to drug makers for life or cure only liver disease

you just need a very expert doctor to clear hbv thats what you should go for and i d say 1% of doctors worldwide has knowledge to cure hbv, like i did it is much better to find a doctor and research not just a doctor for this or wait for gilead drug and replicor to be on the market in 5-10 years time
