Can liver cancer be diagnosed?

Color Doppler ultrasound can assist in the diagnosis of liver cancer, but the diagnosis needs to be combined with a variety of examinations, such as AFP detection, enhanced CT or MRI. Generally speaking, color Doppler ultrasound can assist in the diagnosis of liver cancer, but it needs to be combined with a variety of examination methods. Liver color Doppler ultrasound is one of the commonly used examination methods for liver cancer. This test can detect whether there is a mass in the liver, determine its size, shape, location, etc., and also observe the blood vessels in the liver, which helps doctors understand the progress of liver cancer. However, color Doppler ultrasound has certain limitations. For example, for small liver cancer nodules, Tumors (less than 1 cm in diameter) or located deep in the liver may be difficult to detect by color Doppler ultrasound. In addition, some other liver diseases may also cause abnormal liver echo, such as liver hemangioma, liver abscess, etc., which may interfere with the diagnosis of liver cancer. Therefore, when liver cancer is suspected, doctors may recommend other tests, such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) testing, enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which can provide more detailed information to help doctors diagnose liver cancer. For high-risk groups, such as long-term alcoholism, viral hepatitis such as hepatitis B or C, liver cirrhosis and other diseases, regular liver cancer screening should be performed. Early detection of liver cancer can improve the cure rate and survival rate, so regular physical examination is very important. If color Doppler ultrasound shows abnormal liver, doctors will arrange further examinations or take other treatment measures according to specific conditions. Patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's advice for further examination and treatment. In short, color Doppler ultrasound can be used as one of the initial screening methods for liver cancer, but it cannot be used alone to diagnose liver cancer. Comprehensive examination results, combined with the patient's clinical symptoms and medical history, can make an accurate diagnosis. If there is any doubt about liver health, consult a doctor in time.
