Histological type of liver cancer
According to the organization can be divided into HCC liver, bile duct carcinoma, mixed three main types of liver cancer.
(1) of hepatocellular carcinoma: the origin of cancer cells in the liver cells. Better differentiation, similar to liver cancer cells, poor differentiation, cancer cells of different types of obvious, was polygon, rich in cytoplasm, were granular, eosinophilic staining obvious, and sometimes bile can be seen droplets, large nucleus into the deep, we can see More nuclear fission, the cancer cells were arranged in cord-like or nested, during which the rich sinusoid, no other interstitial. The most common type, accounting for about 80% of liver cancer to 90%.
(2) bile duct carcinoma: the origin of cancer cells in the intrahepatic bile duct epithelium. Its organizational structure for more than cancer or cancer alone. Smaller cells, clear and transparent cytoplasm, no bile in the cytoplasm, the formation of large and small gland chamber, while the number of mesenchymal sinusoid less. This relatively rare type.
(3) mixed liver cancer: cancer in both hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma structure. This type of the most rare. In addition, in recent years also found some rare type of liver cancer, such as clear cell type, the giant cell type, the type sclerosis, fiber-like layer. These types of liver cancer have a better prognosis.
