The liver, one of the body's most vital organs, is prone to malignant tumors that can develop in different parts of the organ. The two most common types are HCC, which develops from the liver's main cells, and cancer in the bile ducts within the liver. Since the latter is less common, we will focus on the former here. Liver cancer is best treated when detected early, but this is often challenging. Causes and risk factors: The causes of liver cancer are complex and are the subject of intensive research. Risk factors include chronic liver disease such as cirrhosis, most commonly caused by chronic hepatitis C virus infection or high alcohol consumption. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is also increasingly identified as a risk factor, often triggered by type 2 diabetes and obesity. An unhealthy lifestyle is also contributing to the rising number of liver cancer patients. Symptoms of liver cancer: The symptoms of liver cancer are nonspecific at first and can easily be confused with other diseases. However, jaundice is a clear sign that indicates liver problems. Since the symptoms often appear at an advanced stage, early detection is difficult. Detect early & get diagnosis: People with liver cirrhosis should have regular ultrasound scans as this increases the chances of early detection. Liver cancer is diagnosed through various tests such as ultrasound, MRI and blood tests. Early diagnosis significantly improves the chances of treatment. Treatment options for liver cancer: Treatment options depend on the stage of the disease and include surgery, radiotherapy, drug treatments and local ablative procedure. A healthy lifestyle and regular doctor visits are also crucial for the prevention and early detection of liver cancer.
