Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors.With the concealed characteristics and non-specific clinical expressions,its presence can be frequently missed,allowing progression to advanced stages where prognosis is poor.Therefore,early diagnosis is essential to improve the survival rate of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.Recent developments in imaging technology and molecular biology are making strides in identifying and finding biomarkers of hepatocellular carcinoma,leading to earlier diagnosis.This article describes the latest developments,in combination with previous diagnostic methods to make a comprehensive examination of strategies for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
