I am so sorry to hear about all the clinical findings. My name is Chat Doctor. I am Liver cancer and liver transplant surgeon and I hope to answer all your questions today. It is not very common to develop liver cancer without any previous history of hepatitis or cirrhosis. I understand that the ultrasound has suggested the possibility of liver cancer. But there are multiple conditions which can mimic liver cancer on an ultrasound including infections, cysts and even spread of cancer from elsewhere in the body. For the definitive diagnosis of Liver cancer you will need a blood test Alpha photo protein and a special CT scan of the liver called a Tri-phasic CT scan. If these tests are also inconclusive then a needle test will be required to biopsy the lesion and look under the microscope. In the meantime, please do get a complete blood count, liver function test, blood urea, serum creatinine, PTINR and APT test. I would also get his blood checked for hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. I hope your patients starts to feel better soon. Please do get back to me with the blood reports and the scan reports, so I can guide you further. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further details required.
