Liver lesion

[sickdragon]

I've been in active HB fro 6years and I found out I have 0.8mm lesion on my liver 5 years agao.
I got CT scan and doc said, it is normal one. 4years ago, I met new doc  and he also found out it from Ultrasound test and recommand to have MRI and I did, still it turned out as normal. every six month I had UT test and it been in normal. but last UT test, it increase 0.8mm to 1.2mm.......
My doc want to have MRI again and I'm waiting for it I'm really scare....
My liver condition is not like that great but all of my blood test had been normal for etire my HB years and DNA number is "0".

My quseations are,

1. Is it possible that nomal lesion turn into serious one like cancer?
2. ls ther any way to remove lesion from my liver?
3. what if it is just normal one which I hope, increasing lesion size is normal pattern?

Please give me some idea about those questions!!!!!!!!
Thanks,

there are new markers to detect early hcc, Golgi protein 73 is the best marker, alfafeto protein is not good anymore but guidelines still use it, in case of hcc early detection and resection has good rates.
this is a research level so i don't think it is easy to find a lab for these markers, in italy there is so much research that i found many places but i don't know about the rest of the world

if it doesn't grow, iperecoic and according to position it is usually a emoangioma, a benign tumor found on skin and liver with no danger at all and which doesn't turn to hcc, if it grows doubling in about 6 months it can be hcc.MRI is also very good at early detection

unfortunately all hbsag positive are at risk of hcc and even after hbsag seroconversion there is still risk for a couple of years after seroconversion although lowest risk.there is only another illness which has much higer rates for hcc than hbv which is diabetes.

the best way to prevent hcc are melatonin 20mg x day and selenium 200mcg x day bllod level between 130-150, vitamin D between 50-60ng/ml, hbvdna und, hbsag/cccdna low or negative
