Abstract:
Differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites is of a great value in determining etiology, evaluating prognosis, and determining therapy regimens. There are many diagnostic methods for ascites, but up to now, no method can achieve high sensitivity and specificity and meet the requirements of clinical economics and feasibility at the same time. Therefore, searching for an ideal method for differential diagnosis of ascites has become an important topic of current research. This article describes the clinical value of diagnostic methods, such as molecular biological detection, cytological examination, combined determination of tumor markers, and routine tests, in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites, analyzes the diagnostic efficiency of related biomarkers, and points out that combined determination of various parameters has an increased value in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites.
