How to do liver cancer examination

Alpha fetoprotein (AFP): alpha fetoprotein is one of the most specific methods for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. It plays a positive role in the diagnosis, judgment of curative effect, estimation of prognosis and prevention of recurrence. It is often used as the auxiliary examination of B-ultrasound and CT. When AFP 200 UG / L, continuously increased for more than 2 months, excluding pregnancy, active liver disease, gonadal embryonal tumor and other diseases, it can be combined with imaging results to diagnose liver cancer.

Second: B-mode ultrasound: B-mode ultrasound is characterized by easy operation, low cost, can detect most of the liver space occupying lesions, is the most commonly used examination method for the diagnosis of early liver cancer, but B-mode ultrasound for small nodules (diameter < 1cm), the accuracy of ultrasound detection is low, at this time to combine with other imaging examination to make a clear diagnosis, such as CT, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and so on.

Third: ultrasound is the early detection method of liver cancer, the detection rate of liver cancer lesions is very high. The inspection process is relatively simple, but the accuracy is high, and the cost is not very expensive.
