What are the clinical examination items for liver cancer? These examinations must be done in the clinical treatment of liver cancer

First, the most commonly used method is liver ultrasound examination. This is a non-invasive examination, which is simple to operate, intuitive and convenient, accurate and non-invasive, low-cost, widely available, and does not cause any harm to human tissue. It can be used for liver cancer screening and follow-up after treatment.

Since the early symptoms of liver cancer are not typical, in this case, diagnostic examination items are very important. In fact, for any disease, diagnostic examination items are very important, but the examination items for cancer are more complicated, such as whether metastasis has occurred. Below is a summary of the examination items for liver cancer:

First, the most commonly used method is liver ultrasound examination. This is a non-invasive examination, which is simple to operate, intuitive and convenient, accurate and non-invasive, low-cost, widely available, and does not cause any harm to human tissue. It can be used for liver cancer screening and follow-up after treatment.

Secondly, CT examination has been called an important routine means of diagnosing liver cancer. Abdominal enhanced CT scan can clearly reflect the size, shape, number, location, boundary, tumor blood supply and relationship with intrahepatic ducts of liver cancer, which is of great significance for further clarifying the diagnosis and distinguishing from other benign liver space-occupying lesions, clarifying the staging and grading of liver cancer, guiding treatment and judging prognosis.

Secondly, liver-specific MRI examination can effectively improve the detection rate of small hepatocellular carcinoma and is of great help in distinguishing focal hyperplastic nodules of the liver, hepatic adenomas, etc. It can be used as an important supplementary method for CT examination.

Finally, selective hepatic artery angiography is an invasive examination. Since liver cancer is mainly supplied by the hepatic artery, hepatic artery angiography can be used to understand the blood supply of small lesions and tumors in the liver. After a clear diagnosis, iodized oil injection can be used to block the tumor supply vessels to achieve the purpose of treatment. It is suitable for patients who have not been diagnosed after other examinations.

The above-mentioned examination items are the most basic ones. According to the different conditions, physical conditions, causes, etc. of the patients, more examination items are needed. The examination for cancer is very complicated. This is because as long as it is cancer, it is relatively complicated. Treatment requires more examination items as a basis, so it must be detailed and accurate.
