HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA HCC PANEL Test
Test Cost: AED 940.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis:
The HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA (HCC) PANEL test is a diagnostic tool used to detect and monitor hepatocellular carcinoma, which is the most common type of liver cancer. This panel test includes various blood markers and imaging techniques to assess the presence and progression of HCC.
The HCC panel typically includes the following tests:
- Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) test: AFP is a protein that is often elevated in individuals with HCC. This test measures the levels of AFP in the blood and can be used to screen for HCC and monitor treatment response.
- Liver function tests: These tests measure the levels of liver enzymes, such as alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), which can be elevated in individuals with liver cancer.
- Imaging tests: Imaging techniques like ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to visualize the liver and detect the presence of tumors or other abnormalities.
- Liver biopsy: In some cases, a liver biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis of HCC. During this procedure, a small sample of liver tissue is removed and examined under a microscope.
The HCC panel test is often used in individuals at high risk for developing liver cancer, such as those with chronic hepatitis B or C infection, cirrhosis, or a family history of HCC. It helps in early detection, staging, and monitoring the progression of HCC, allowing for timely intervention and treatment.
