Analysis to detect liver cancer 06:00

In case of suspicion of liver cancer, AFP (alpha phytoprotein), Rea (cancer embryonic antigen), hydrocarbon antigen CA 19-9 and ferritin are worth performing for tests. At the same time, the main analysis for AFP, a traumatologist, surgeon Alexander Luzin St. In St. Petersburg, the “Be healthy” clinic for the medical part of the clinic said by the Deputy Doctor.

“The main diagnostic test for liver cancer is AFP. This is a protein that occurs even during the development of intrauterine even in the human body. As the body grows, AFP can be found in a small number of healthy people, but it can be found in malignant liver tumors. Malignant liver tumors increases at 80-90%.

Rea and Ca 19-0- Non-specific cancer markers often prescribed for suspicion of cancer. In addition, they can be found in people who are not sick of blood and cancer.

Awakeness in terms of cancer should cause a sharp increase in this indicator, especially in people of risk groups,” he said.

Ferritin is a protein in iron transport in the body. Since iron is accumulated in the liver, the level of ferrite increases with acute and chronic inflammation, oncopathology.

“All these indicators increase with different liver cancer forms, their levels become higher than the reference values. AFP indicator mainly increases with primary liver cancer, when metastases occur, the sensitivity of this cancer marker reaches 100%. An increase in the Rea, the metastatic origin of the rea, the metastatic origin of the hepatic tumor and the Ca 19-9 and the Primer can grow with the metastatic cancer. Special can grow specially.
