Early diagnosis of portal vein tumor thrombus in hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is the most common primary liver cancer worldwide and one of the most common malignancies in patients with chronic liver disease.When diagnosed at an advanced stage,it is usually associ-ated with portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT),which severely affects patient prognosis.Therefore,early detection of PVTT is crucial for the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.PVTT prediction model is an important tool for rapid identification of high-risk individuals with HCC combined with PVTT.Color Doppler ultrasound(CDUS)and ultrasonography(CEUS)are noninvasive and easily reproducible methods that provide real-time infor-mation on the dynamics of portal venous flow.Computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)are the main diagnostic tools that play an important role in the differential diagnosis of benign versus malignant thrombus.Through the above diagnostic modalities as well as the use of biological markers,the early and accurate di-agnosis of HCC combined with PVTT can be realized and the goal of early treatment can be achieved.
