OUR TEAM

Liver cancer encompasses all tumors or cancers within the liver, and is the third commonest cancer in the world.

Liver cancer includes primary liver tumors, which arise within the liver , and secondary liver tumors which spread to

the liver from other sites.

Viral hepatitis - Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections have an important association

with liver cancer. Approximately 4% and 1% of all Indians have HBV or HCV infection respectively.

Cirrhosis is a progressive disorder that leads to scarring of the liver. Cirrhosis is the end result of all forms of

chronic liver damage. Patients who have both chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis, have a greater than 100-fold

increased risk of developing liver cancer.

Obesity: One third of all obese patients may have liver disease.

Diabetes can increase risk of liver cancer, especially in those who have chronic HBV or HCV infection.

Other factors include smoking and betel nut/tobacco chewing.

Liver cancer usually has no obvious symptoms. Symptoms which may be caused by liver cancer include

unexplained weight loss, lack of appetite, abdominal pain, increasing abdominal girth.

The best chance for patients who are at risk for liver cancer is regular surveillance so that cancers can be found

early. Patients who have a liver disease that puts them at a high risk of developing liver cancer (such as hepatitis B

or any form of cirrhosis) should undergo periodic screening tests.

The diagnosis of liver cancer requires a high index of suspicion. A new lesion appearing in a cirrhotic liver is

suspicious. Diagnosis usually requires imaging with ultrasound, CT and PET/CT with or without biopsy.

Early cancers can be treated by surgical removal (resection), destruction of the individual tumors by targeted

chemotherapy (TACE) or liver transplantation. Treatment depends on the liver's condition, size, location, and

number of tumors, the person's age and overall health.

The risks and benefits of treatment vary widely depending upon the extent of the tumor, the state of the

underlying liver and the general condition of the patient. It is important to tailor the treatment to the individual

patient.
