Understanding Liver Cancer

  • Liver cancer, or hepatic cancer, occurs when malignant cells develop in the liver tissues.
  • The liver, situated in the upper right abdomen, plays crucial roles in filtering blood, metabolizing nutrients, and detoxifying harmful substances.
  • Liver cancer can manifest as primary liver cancer originating in the liver or secondary liver cancer spreading from other parts of the body.

    • Signs & Symptoms of Liver Cancer

  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
  • Abdominal pain or discomfort, particularly in the upper right side.
  • Unexplained weight loss.
  • Loss of appetite.
  • Fatigue or weakness.
  • Enlarged liver or palpable mass in the abdomen.
  • Swelling in the abdomen or legs.
  • Nausea and vomiting.

    • Causes and Risk Factors of Liver Cancer

  • Chronic infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C viruses.
  • Cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) from chronic alcohol abuse, fatty liver disease, or other causes.
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
  • Exposure to aflatoxins (toxins produced by molds).
  • Diabetes.
  • Obesity.
  • Family history of liver cancer or specific genetic conditions.

    • Prevention and Early Detection for Liver Cancer

  • Vaccination against hepatitis B virus.
  • Screening and treatment of chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C infections.
  • Limiting alcohol consumption.
  • Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise.
  • Avoiding exposure to carcinogens and toxins.

    • Diagnostic Tests for Liver Cancer:

  • Imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to visualize the liver and detect abnormalities.
  • Blood tests to assess liver function and tumor marker levels such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP).
  • Biopsy to obtain tissue samples for cancer diagnosis confirmation.

    • Treatment Options for Liver Cancer:

  • Surgery to remove the tumor or part of the liver (resection)
  • Liver transplant for eligible candidates with early-stage liver cancer and suitable donors
  • Ablation therapies like radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation to destroy cancerous tissue
  • Chemoembolization or radioembolization to deliver chemotherapy drugs or radiation directly to the tumor
