| Core Tip |
This observational study highlights the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in evaluating the therapeutic response of liver cancer patients to interventional therapy. CEUS enables real-time visualization of tumor perfusion patterns, microvessel density changes, and alterations in tumor markers. Among 124 patients, CEUS demonstrated high sensitivity (85.72%) and specificity (92.31%) in assessing treatment efficacy. Notably, tumor blood flow and tumor marker levels (alpha-fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9) significantly decreased post-treatment. These findings support CEUS as a reliable, noninvasive tool for monitoring treatment outcomes and guiding clinical decision-making in liver cancer management. |
