Experts teach you how to correctly understand small hepatocellular carcinoma

Among the many liver cancers, small hepatocellular carcinoma is a type of cancer that is different from general liver cancer. It has its own unique symptoms and causes. However, ordinary patients have no way to carefully distinguish it, and thus cannot use the correct treatment method. Let us now have a detailed understanding of small hepatocellular carcinoma.

Small hepatocellular carcinoma cells have clear boundaries, and may or may not be accompanied by a capsule, which may be complete or incomplete. The tumor nodules are surrounded by true capsules or dense cirrhotic stroma. Small hepatocellular carcinomas with capsules are round, well differentiated, grow slowly, and even remain the same size for years; irregularly shaped small hepatocellular carcinomas without capsules grow faster, and sub-nodules and satellite nodules appear earlier. Most small hepatocellular carcinomas in my country have no capsules or incomplete capsules.

In fact, the growth of small hepatocellular carcinoma is not rapid. It may take several years from the occurrence of the tumor to the appearance of obvious symptoms. Jaundice and hepatosplenomegaly appear due to the accelerated growth rate, and the patient can only survive for a few months after the onset of symptoms. The development of small hepatocellular carcinoma is different from that of symptomatic liver cancer. Small hepatocellular carcinoma is an early hepatocellular carcinoma with inherent characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma. Adenoid hyperplasia may be a large regenerative nodule of precancerous lesions, which is sometimes easily confused with well-differentiated small hepatocellular carcinoma. It is necessary to pay attention to the identification and be vigilant against its development into hepatocellular carcinoma.

The above is a detailed introduction to small hepatocellular carcinoma. We hope that patients can carefully distinguish the type of disease through symptoms, so that they can carry out appropriate diagnosis and treatment to ensure their physical health.
