Primary liver cancer

Primary liver of the liver is one of the common malignant tumors in China. Mortality ranks 3rd among malignant tumors of the digestive system. In China, about 110,000 people die of liver cancer each year, accounting for 45% of the deaths from liver cancer worldwide. Because the detection of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) combined with ultrasound imaging to monitor high-risk populations, liver cancer can be diagnosed at the subclinical stage, and the long-term effect of early resection is particularly significant. Coupled with active comprehensive treatment, the five-year survival rate of liver cancer has significantly improved. The disease can occur at any age, with the most being 40 to 49 years old, with a male to female ratio of 2 to 5: 1.
