Can checking AFP determine whether it is liver cancer

Can AFP testing confirm liver cancer?

If the alpha-fetoprotein concentration and/or abnormal prothrombin concentration in the blood is significantly increased, combined with the malignant space-occupying lesions found in the liver, hepatocellular carcinoma can basically be diagnosed clinically, but liver puncture pathological examination is the gold standard for the diagnosis of liver cancer.

Liver cancer screening and testing for the tumor growth marker alpha-fetoprotein can be done by ultrasonography of the liver.

The diagnosis of liver cancer requires two intensive tests. When alpha-fetoprotein is elevated and the above symptoms occur, liver cancer can be diagnosed.

What is the cost of early treatment of liver cancer?

If the patient is diagnosed with early stage liver cancer, surgery is needed immediately because it is more likely to cure the disease and prevent cancer cells from spreading further. However, the price of completely curing liver cancer or the severity of the liver cancer may affect the treatment method. If resection is used, it may cost around 60,000 to 80,000 yuan.

There is no uniform price for the early treatment of liver cancer, because the cost of liver cancer treatment is related to the patient's own physical condition and the severity of the disease as well as the different planned treatment plans. The costs in different regions and hospitals are also different.
