Understanding Liver Cancer

Liver cancer refers to malignant growths found in the liver. The liver is the body’s largest internal organ, playing a vital role in filtering blood, detoxifying chemicals, and metabolizing drugs.

The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which begins in the main type of liver cell (hepatocyte). Other forms include intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hepatoblastoma, but they are less common. 

Liver cancer often shows no symptoms until the advanced stages, making it difficult to perform surgery. However, when symptoms do appear, they can include weight loss, upper abdominal pain, and jaundice.

Factors that elevate the risk of developing liver cancer include chronic hepatitis infections (B and C), cirrhosis, inherited liver diseases, diabetes, and exposure to toxins like aflatoxin.

Regular screenings are recommended for those at higher risk to detect liver cancer early, which is crucial for effective treatment.
