Overview

Analysis reveals contrast-enhanced ultrasound effectively evaluates treatment response in liver cancer patients, indicating changes in tumor blood flow and angiogenesis.

Key Points

  • Contrast-enhanced ultrasound shows high sensitivity at 85.72% and specificity at 92.31% in evaluating liver cancer treatment effects.
  • Tumor blood flow decreased significantly from 68.25% pre-treatment to 53.75% at 6 months post-treatment, indicating reduced tumor activity.
  • The study analyzed 124 liver cancer patients using contrast-enhanced ultrasound before and after interventional therapy, assessing tumor chemical markers throughout.
  • Significant reductions in alpha-fetoprotein and other tumor markers were noted post-treatment, highlighting the diagnostic value of the method.
