Can liver cancer be cured?

For the treatment of liver cancer, the cancerous liver can be removed in the early and middle stages, and the lesion site can effectively achieve the purpose of treatment and prolong life. However, regular follow-up is required after surgery to see if there will be any metastasis problems, and it cannot be completely cured. If liver cancer is found, it is recommended to go to a regular specialist hospital for a professional systematic examination, a clear diagnosis, and then take standardized and effective treatment. From a clinical perspective, liver cancer can reach the level of clinical cure.

Difference between liver cancer and hepatic hemangioma

The main difference between liver cancer and hemangioma CT lines is that when enhanced CT is performed during the enhancement phase, the performance is different. Generally, patients with liver cancer have a fast-in-fast-out performance, with obvious edge enhancement, commonly known as the bull's eye sign. In the enhancement pattern of liver cancer, the characteristics of fast-in-fast-out can appear, that is, the hepatic artery phase, the mass is obviously unevenly enhanced, and the portal phase and equilibrium phase enhancement are reduced relative to the liver substance. CT plain scan cannot distinguish between hemangioma and liver cancer, but enhanced CT can better distinguish between hemangioma and liver cancer.

Can early-stage liver cancer be detected by ultrasound?

It can be said that B-ultrasound can still achieve early detection of liver cancer, but it is usually discovered accidentally during physical examinations or other diseases, because the occurrence of liver cancer is a genetic mutation of liver cells. In the early stages of liver cancer, only individual liver cells change, and the morphology of the liver does not change. In other words, the ultrasound cannot be seen by the naked eye. Only these mutated liver cells continue to divide and proliferate, forming nodules or small tumors, local liver lesions, and then they can be found under ultrasound. However, the early detection of liver cancer is also of clinical significance for the treatment of liver cancer. Not all early liver cancers can be detected by B-ultrasound. In cases where liver cancer is larger than 1cm, B-ultrasound can effectively detect it, but for some tumors, it is still relatively small, less than 1cm, especially less than 0.5cm. B-ultrasound, as a means of imaging examination, often finds early liver cancer lesions larger than 1cm. It is difficult to detect liver cancer by B-ultrasound.
