The diagnosis of liver cancer is not difficult. Liver cancer is one of the few tumors that can be diagnosed clinically. What does clinical diagnosis mean? It can be diagnosed by physical examination and auxiliary examinations. Most tumors can only be confirmed by pathological diagnosis, which means that the tissue must be taken and sent to the pathology department. The pathologist will observe it under a microscope and only if cancer cells are found can the diagnosis be confirmed. Alpha-fetoprotein (abbreviation: alpha-fetoprotein, English abbreviation: AFP): AFP is a special protein synthesized by fetal liver cells and found normally in fetal serum. B-ultrasound is the preferred examination method for liver cancer screening. It is non-invasive, simple, convenient, non-radiative, low-priced and easy to popularize. B-ultrasound can show the size, shape, location of the tumor and whether there is a tumor thrombus in the hepatic vein or portal vein, and its diagnostic accuracy can reach 90%.

If CT examination and ultrasound are fine, then at least there won’t be any big lesions. If you have hepatitis B or cirrhosis, it is recommended to do a CT examination directly, and enhancement is also required. Liver cancer complicated by cirrhosis can easily be missed if only a plain CT scan is performed. Selective hepatic arteriography When enhanced CT/MRI is difficult to diagnose small lesions suspected of liver cancer, selective hepatic arteriography is an important supplementary method for the diagnosis of liver cancer. For small liver cancers with a diameter of 1-2cm, hepatic arteriography can be performed more accurately. The diagnosis is made with an accuracy rate of >90%.

In the late stage, abnormal liver function may cause edema, liver palms (red patches appearing on the hypothenar eminence of the hands, which turn pale when pressed), and spider nevi (red dots appearing on the skin spreading to the surrounding areas). There are blood streaks distributed in a shape, which will disappear after pressing) Hepatitis B halves: There are so many liver cancer patients in China, most of them are related to hepatitis B. Therefore, it is necessary to complete the hepatitis B test to see if it is chronic hepatitis B. my country is a country with a large number of liver cancer cases, with very high new cases and deaths every year. 120,000 people die from liver cancer every year, making it the country with the largest number of liver cancer deaths in the world.
