The originating area for liver cancer is the liver itself. While it definitely happens that some cancers that started elsewhere might grow to encompass the liver region, liver cancers are specifically named when they start in the liver.
The liver is a large and essential body organ. Situated beneath the right lung, it is responsible for many important activities such as toxin removal.
Where the cancer is largely determines what kind of liver cancer symptoms are displayed or experienced. Jaundice also might cause certain symptoms, including itching.
Normally, the person could perceive the liver cancer symptoms as not serious. This is because they usually consist of general sick feelings or appetite loss.
In its initial stages, liver cancer rarely shows any signs or symptoms. The symptoms gradually appear in the following forms:
While liver cancer causes are yet not properly identifiable, most experts attribute it to the liver scarring in a condition called cirrhosis. Hepatitis C is a causal factor that many survey have identified as the chief causal factor of liver cancer.
Not only hepatitis C, but hepatitis B also is a causal factor, as observed by many scientists and doctors. The reason is that both diseases potentially lead to liver scarring, which in turn can cause liver cancer.
In fact, any other liver disease which could scar the liver could potentially cause liver cancer to appear and develop.
Liver cancer risk factors include:
Steps to reduce the risk of liver cancer include: In order to prevent liver cancer, one should pay regular visits to a doctor who has a specialty in liver disorders. One should also get themselves vaccinated for hepatitis A and B after consulting with their doctor. Hepatitis B and C both should be avoided.
If the person already has cirrhosis, he/she should consult the doctor and act through his/her recommendations for any treatments. They should also consult the doctor about any screening processes.
In the case of an obese or overweight person, or anyone suffering from alcohol abuse disorder or diabetes, they should consult their doctors.
Researchers have identified five main liver cancer types. The cells in which the cancer starts in largely determines the liver cancer type.
