    Area of Science:

    • Surgical oncology
    • Diagnostic imaging

    Background:

    • Diagnostic laparoscopy, originating in the early 1900s, is crucial for evaluating abdominal malignancies.
    • It plays a key role in managing hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic hepatic cancer, and abdominal lymphoma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the diagnostic superiority and complementary role of laparoscopy in abdominal cancer evaluation.
    • To emphasize the increasing significance of laparoscopic staging in modern cancer treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of diagnostic modalities for abdominal malignancy.
    • Review of laparoscopic techniques in cancer staging and management.

    Main Results:

    • Laparoscopic diagnosis is superior or complementary to conventional imaging (CT, ultrasound).
