Abstract:
Liver cancer is a common tumor that seriously threatens human life and health. Given that the early onset of liver cancer is insidious and lacks specific symptoms, hence it is difficult to screen through routine examination. Thus, clinical diagnosis of liver cancer is mostly in the advanced stage. However, advanced liver cancer has few treatment options, poor prognosis and high relapse rate, thereby causing a high mortality rate. Therefore, early diagnosis of liver cancer is particularly important. Currently, non-invasive screening of liver cancer widely used in clinical setups lacks sufficient sensitivity and specificity, hence, a more reliable diagnostic method needs to be found urgently. This article reviews the research progress of noninvasive early diagnosis of liver cancer to provide a reference for raising the early diagnosis rate of liver cancer.
