What tests are needed to confirm liver cancer?

1. If a patient is suspected of having liver cancer, the first thing to do is usually a blood test. A blood test can check the patient's liver function and alpha-fetoprotein. Alpha-fetoprotein is of diagnostic value for diagnosing liver cancer. The normal value of the human body is 20ng/ml. If the alpha-fetoprotein exceeds 400ng/ml, it has diagnostic significance for liver cancer.

2. Liver cancer needs to be diagnosed through pathological examination. Hepatitis B needle aspiration cytology examination can be used as the basis for diagnosis. A very important point in the primary liver cancer examination is to perform a puncture biopsy of the liver lesion under the guidance of ultrasound or CT, and perform a pathological examination to confirm liver cancer.

Is liver function normal in liver cancer two-pair-and-a-half?

If the liver cancer is caused by chronic hepatitis B cirrhosis, the patient's two-and-a-half is generally abnormal.
