Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Primary liver cancer often presents asymptomatically, delaying diagnosis and treatment.
  • Subclinical primary liver cancer requires specific screening and diagnostic strategies for early detection.
  • Liver disease patients and high-risk populations are key targets for screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate diagnostic approaches for identifying asymptomatic primary liver cancer.
  • To assess the resectability and survival rates of patients with subclinical primary liver cancer.
  • To discuss diagnostic criteria for early-stage liver cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) monitoring in patients with liver disease.
  • AFP surveys in high-risk populations.

  • Diagnostic imaging including X-ray examination of the diaphragm and sonography.

    • Main Results:

    • A 50% resectability rate was achieved for the identified cases.
    • 3-year and 5-year survival rates after hepatectomy were 62.5% and 57.1%, respectively.
    • Hepatic arterial ligation combined with irradiation showed improved results for nonresectable cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Early detection of subclinical primary liver cancer is feasible through targeted screening and imaging.
    • Surgical resection offers significant survival benefits for resectable cases.
    • Multimodal treatment approaches can improve outcomes for nonresectable liver cancer.
