When a liver tumour is seen on an ultrasound scan, a CT scan or an MRI is done to further assess the nature and extent of the tumour. Blood investigations will be done to ascertain the function of the liver. Alpha-feto protein level which is a cancer marker for HCC will be carried out with a blood test, as well as blood tests for the presence of chronic viral Hepatitis B and C.
