How high is the alpha-fetoprotein to indicate liver cancer

If the alpha-fetoprotein is greater than 400ng/ml and lasts for 4 weeks, or greater than 200ng/ml and continues for 8 weeks through imaging, and CT or MRI examinations for 8 weeks show that there is a substantial mass in the liver that moves in and out quickly, it can be diagnosed as primary liver cancer. The so-called alpha-fetoprotein is a glycoprotein, which belongs to a small category of albumin. After 2-3 months of birth, these alpha-fetoproteins will gradually disappear in the blood of normal people. They may be difficult to detect during testing, and they may also be gradually replaced by albumin. It is not the case that an increase in alpha-fetoprotein reflects liver cancer. In clinical terms, alpha-fetoprotein is generally greater than 400ug/L, which has the function of warning liver cancer.

How much does early-stage liver cancer surgery cost?

The cost of early surgery for liver cancer is not fixed. For early surgical treatment, if there are no complications and it is a radical surgery, the cost of surgery may be 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Due to different surgical plans, different hospital specifications, different complications for each person, and whether there are complications after surgery, the cost of surgery will vary. The cost of early treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma is about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. This figure cannot be generalized. The cost of surgery is related to factors such as the consumption level and hospital level of the patient's area. Generally speaking, the cost of radical resection of early liver cancer in a tertiary hospital is usually around 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Can liver cancer cause coughing?

In addition to the above two reasons, coughing in patients with liver cancer may also be caused by concurrent respiratory diseases such as upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc. This cough can be cured through active symptom and anti-inflammatory treatment. If the cough is caused by liver cancer metastasis, further chemotherapy, radiotherapy or targeted therapy is needed to reduce the tumor to relieve the corresponding symptoms. Coughing in patients with liver cancer is a common symptom of liver cancer and may be caused by liver cancer metastasis.
