Early detection methods for liver cancer

The early symptoms of liver cancer are generally not particularly obvious, so it is very difficult for people to detect the disease, which also brings certain difficulties to the treatment of patients. In the early stages of the disease, the treatment effect is relatively good. Patients must make an early diagnosis and timely treatment is very critical.

1. CT is an early detection method for liver cancer. CT is a very important method for detecting liver cancer and is widely used across the country.

2. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is a method that has developed rapidly in recent years. It can now make a relatively accurate judgment on some small lesions in the liver. Now Nuclear Magnetic Resonance also plays a very important role in the early detection of liver cancer.

3. Alpha-fetoprotein test - Alpha-fetoprotein has a certain sensitivity for examination. When the alpha-fetoprotein level is elevated, it should be taken seriously. However, not all liver cancer patients have elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels in clinical practice. Therefore, elevated alpha-fetoprotein cannot be used as a basis for diagnosis. This test only has a certain auxiliary role in the early diagnosis of liver cancer.

4. Ultrasound examination - Ultrasound examination is also an early detection method for liver cancer. The characteristics of ultrasound are that it is relatively easy to operate, the cost is relatively low, and the detection rate of liver lesions is also relatively high.

Liver cancer patients must grasp the best treatment time, and timely detection of the disease can be timely treatment. Although liver cancer is not an incurable disease, it is not easy to cure the disease. As a liver cancer patient, you must try to prolong your life, which is the key to treating the disease.
