2. CT examination:

CT examination plays a very important role in the diagnosis of liver cancer. Through abdominal CT enhanced scanning, the specific situation of the tumor can be clearly seen: location, shape, size, number, richness of tumor blood supply and the relationship between intrahepatic ducts. It is very helpful for the staging of liver cancer, further diagnosis, guidance of subsequent treatment and judgment of prognosis.

3. Pathological examination

It can clearly determine whether it is benign or malignant liver cancer, and is the gold standard for liver cancer diagnosis.

4. Selective hepatic artery angiography:

It is mostly used for patients with liver cancer who cannot be diagnosed after other examinations. It is an invasive examination that can clearly see small lesions in the liver and the blood supply of the tumor. It can not only further confirm the liver cancer, but also block the tumor supplying blood vessels by injecting iodized oil, thereby achieving the purpose of diagnosis and treatment.

When diagnosed with liver cancer, it must be treated in time, because only by actively cooperating with treatment in the early stage can the impact of liver cancer on patients be minimized. Clinically, some patients with early liver cancer have been cured through active treatment, so it is recommended that you do not give up treatment easily after being diagnosed with liver cancer.
