Can B ultrasound detect liver cancer

summary

Recently, someone around me is very curious about one thing, that is, whether B-ultrasound can detect liver cancer. So, I searched for relevant knowledge on the Internet and got to know it. Now let's popularize the science below to see if B-ultrasound can detect liver cancer.

Can B ultrasound detect liver cancer

First: B ultrasound found liver problems, but CT did not find, may have the following reasons: the lesion is relatively small; only the upper abdomen CT scan, no enhanced scan, and the lesion is equal density. If there is no enhanced scan, it must be done; cancer is more prone to liver metastasis, it is recommended to check CEA, and compared with the previous CEA level, we can also judge whether rectal cancer recurrence or metastasis.

Second, there are many examination items for liver cancer. B-ultrasound is the first choice for early localization examination of liver cancer. In addition, there are AFP (alpha fetoprotein) examination, serum enzyme examination, ferritin determination and so on. B-mode ultrasound can not only find out whether there are space occupying lesions in the liver initially and correctly, but also is one of the most commonly used methods in the diagnosis of early liver cancer.

Third: B-ultrasound alone can not diagnose liver cancer. Patients need to go to regular large liver disease hospital for comprehensive examination. According to the examination results, comprehensive analysis can be made to determine whether the patient has canceration. Therefore, the early stage of liver cancer can not be shown by B-ultrasound. CT examination, alpha fetoprotein examination, liver biopsy and so on are also needed. According to the comprehensive analysis of these examination results, the patient's condition can be finally diagnosed.

matters needing attention

Many people don't know whether B-ultrasound can detect liver cancer. In fact, at present, it can't be diagnosed. If you want to detect liver cancer, B-ultrasound is only one of the methods, but you still need to carry out various examinations for further diagnosis. Therefore, it is suggested that you should carry out detailed examination if you want to detect liver cancer.
