How can we accurately diagnose liver cancer? Introduction to the correct method of early diagnosis of liver cancer

In the current situation of the disease, there are many liver cancer patients who can only be diagnosed in hospitals, and by the time they are diagnosed, it is already in the late stage of liver cancer. Therefore, the mortality rate of liver cancer patients is very high. People are increasingly afraid of liver cancer. In fact, liver cancer is not incurable. As long as the correct treatment method is used, liver cancer can also be cured. Next, let the experts teach you how to accurately diagnose liver cancer.

During the development of liver cancer, doctors and experts remind patients that they must undergo early examinations and make sure to detect the disease early. Only after the disease is confirmed can targeted early treatment be carried out, especially high-risk groups need regular physical examinations.

So how should liver cancer be diagnosed?

Some clinical diagnoses are made through symptoms, such as a tumor growing under the liver capsule, swelling the capsule, dull pain in the right muscle ribs of the liver area, poor appetite and fatigue. Patients with hepatitis, cirrhosis and portal hypertension may also have these symptoms, so they are not specific symptoms of liver cancer.

The symptoms of lumps in the body: Once a lump appears in the body, it is very likely that the tumor is growing lower down. At the same time, when the tumor is in a superficial position and has entered the late stage, the lump can be felt. Therefore, lumps will generally not appear.

Patients with chronic hepatitis need to undergo an alpha-fetoprotein test to diagnose early liver cancer, and use modern imaging to diagnose liver cancer. Modern imaging tests can diagnose more than 90% of liver cancers. B-ultrasound can determine more than 80% of the time. If it is uncertain, color ultrasound can be used to check and confirm, or magnetic resonance imaging can be used to distinguish some uncertain properties, which can also be confirmed, so that patients can be diagnosed as early as possible. Angiography can also be performed through the liver. Once a tumor appears, imaging changes can be seen, but this examination will cause certain damage. If the above diagnosis is still unclear, pathological examination can also be used, and the most commonly used method is through puncture. There are many negative effects of puncture examination, it is easy to bleed, and the tumor is easy to spread, so puncture is generally not recommended now.
