What are the diagnostic criteria for liver cancer

The diagnosis of liver cancer has progressed from "post-mortem diagnosis" in the 1930s to "clinical diagnosis" and "subclinical diagnosis" in the 1970s. This progress is closely related to the emergence of new diagnostic methods in different periods. What are the diagnostic criteria for liver cancer? Let's take a look at it together. I hope that after this introduction, everyone will have a new understanding of liver cancer.

In the late 1960s, the clinical use of AFP testing brought about the first leap forward in liver cancer diagnosis; in the 1980s, the combination of electronic computers and new technologies led to the emergence of new positioning diagnostic methods such as ultrasound imaging, CT, and MRI, which led to the second leap forward in liver cancer diagnosis.
The first leap raised the diagnosis of liver cancer from "clinical diagnosis" to "subclinical diagnosis"; the second leap raised the subclinical diagnosis to the 1cm liver cancer level, and made the diagnosis of clinical liver cancer more accurate. The application of intraoperative ultrasound has significantly improved the treatment level. The new technology also brings about the update of concepts. The concept of "subclinical diagnosis" has completely updated the diagnostic concept of liver cancer in the past 100 years.
