Current considerations on the diagnosis of hepatic metastasis
Keywords:
hepatic metastasis, tumoral marker, diagnosis means, secondary health care.Abstract
Hepatic metastasis is frequent in the course of diverse primary tumors and, sometimes, this it is the first in being diagnosed. Achieving a precise description of the metastatic liver from the functional and anatomical point of view is indispensable to indicate an opportune treatment. On the base of these statements, some aspects related to the main diagnosis means used in patients with this morbid process are exposed.
