It is necessary for patients to know some examination methods for gallbladder cancer

In recent years, the number of patients with gallbladder cancer in my country has increased, which makes people very worried. If patients do not combine some gallbladder cancer examinations in time in the early stage, they may not be able to detect the disease in time, which will delay the treatment process. Therefore, everyone should understand some gallbladder cancer examinations to detect the disease as early as possible. Let's take a look at the methods of gallbladder cancer examination.

Tests for gallbladder cancer include:

1. Serum biochemical examination shows that the total serum bilirubin is increased, the serum one-minute bilirubin is increased, alkaline phosphatase and cholesterol may also be increased, and α-glutamyl transpeptidase is increased, which is a manifestation of obstructive jaundice. The increase is proportional to the degree of bile duct obstruction, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is accelerated. This is one of the examination methods for gallbladder cancer.

2. Serum radioimmunoassay: So far, no specific tumor markers for gallbladder cancer have been found. The more commonly used ones are serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), various sugar chain antigens (CA19-9), and the increase of sialic acid (SA) and DNA polymerase (DNA-Plca), which are helpful for diagnosis. Among them, CA19-9 has a higher positive rate, reported to be as high as 81.3%. Early cancer may also be positive, and it increases with the depth of cancer infiltration into the gallbladder wall. Therefore, it has a certain reference value for the early diagnosis and treatment selection of gallbladder cancer. This examination of gallbladder cancer is relatively common.

3. Blood tests often reveal anemia and increased white blood cell count and neutrophil count, and in a few cases there may be leukemoid reactions. This is also a checkup item for gallbladder cancer.

As long as you know these examinations of gallbladder cancer, patients can find the disease in time, and of course it can also help with the later treatment. So please remember these examinations of gallbladder cancer, which will definitely help patients. I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
