Liver Cancer Treatment

In Delhi

Liver cancer is a type of cancer that begins in your liver, an important organ responsible for filtering blood, removing toxins, and helping in digestion. It develops when abnormal cells grow in the liver and form a tumor. In many cases, it is linked to long-term liver diseases like hepatitis. In the early stages, there might be no symptoms, which makes regular health checkups important. As the condition progresses, it can affect your liver function and overall health.

Symptoms
Symptoms of liver cancer might be mild in the beginning but become more noticeable with time. Common signs include pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen, especially on the right side. You might notice swelling in the abdomen or a feeling of fullness even after eating a small amount.  Unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, and constant fatigue are also common. Yellowing of the skin and eyes might occur in some cases. Nausea and vomiting can be present. You should not ignore these symptoms if they continue.

Causes
Liver cancer develops when there are changes in the DNA of your liver cells, causing them to grow uncontrollably. The most common causes are long-term infections like hepatitis B or C and conditions like cirrhosis. Other risk factors include heavy alcohol use, fatty liver disease, and obesity. In some cases, the exact cause is unknown, but lifestyle and medical conditions play a significant role in increasing risk.

Diagnosis
Doctors usually start with a physical exam and a review of symptoms. Blood tests help assess liver function. Imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI are also used to detect tumors. In some cases, doctors might perform a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment
Treatment options include surgery, liver transplant, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.  The treatment plan depends on the stage of your cancer and your overall health.
