A Comparative Analysis of Ultrasound's Accuracy in Diagnosing HC Using Histopathology as Gold Standard

A Comparative Analysis of Ultrasound's Accuracy in Diagnosing Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Histopathology as Gold Standard

The study aims to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), using histopathology as the gold standard. It addresses HCC's high global incidence and the utility of ultrasound as a non-invasive, cost-effective screening tool. Despite ultrasound's accessibility, its diagnostic limitations necessitate further investigation to improve clinical outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Clinically suspected liver cancer patients undergoing ultrasound examination.
• Patients undergoing histopathological examination (liver biopsy or resection) for definitive diagnosis.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with history of liver cancer treatment or inadequate data."
