Abstract:
Early identification and effective treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma plays an important role in improving survival rate.The establishment of simple and effective procedures for early diagnosis, census methods, and effective minimally invasive treatment is an important project in China to improve the diagnosis and treatment level of liver cancer.Contrast-enhanced ultrasound plays an important role in the early diagnosis of liver cancer and radiofrequency ablation treatment.This article describes how contrast-enhanced ultrasound helps with the identification of small hepatocellular carcinoma and degree of tumor differentiation in patients with liver cirrhosis, as well as the differential diagnosis of hyperplasia/canceration and precancerous lesion.It also introduces the important role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in standard radiofrequency ablation and development of therapeutic regimens and strategies and clarifies that it can be used before, during, and after radiofrequency ablation treatment.
