Is it possible to have liver cancer with normal blood?


CT scanning shows regenarating nodule of liver - Ultrasound shows hypoechoic nodules or complex cyst and finally, blood test for tumor marks show normal.

does anyone know if there is still a possibility of having cancer?

From what injury is the liver nodule regenerating? What does your Dr say about the nodules or potential cysts? Why were you having the CT scan? Parts of the puzzle here are missing.

If the test you are talking about is an alpha-feta-protein AFP this is not a very accurate marker for all types of liver cancer. Usually this test would be done with a complete CBC also which might also give some indication of your having cancer.

There is no way to guarantee that you might not have a very small liver tumor but the results you have mentioned do not indicate that the radiologist suspected liver cancer.
