Overview

Other diagnostic studies for hepatocellular carcinoma include laparoscopy and biopsy.

Key Findings in biopsy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is confirmed by percutaneous biopsy and histopathologic analysis.

The comparison table for diagnostic studies of choice for hepatocellular carcinoma:[3]

Diagnostic Test Sensitivity Specificity
Percutaneous Ultrasound guided liver biopsy 90% 91%
Percutaneous CT guided liver biopsy 92% 98%
Sequence of Diagnostic Studies

The core needle biopsy should be performed when:[4]

  • A positive hepatic leision is detected in the patient on imaging studies.
  • The patient has underlying risk factors i.e HBV infection,HCV infection or liver cirrhosis.
