Unfortunately,
Liver cancer don't always present obvious symptoms in their early stages if you know
you're at risk of Liver cancer, talk to your healthcare provider.
Liver cancer
has a very high prevalence among cancers in general and is one of the most
common causes of Cancer mortality worldwide.
About
70–85% of Liver cancers are attributed to Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), while
Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma accounts for the remainder. Secondary Liver
cancer occurs when a tumor from another part of the body metastasizes to the Liver.
Although Breast, Oesophageal, Stomach, Pancreatic, Lung, Kidney and several
other cancers can metastasize to the Liver, most secondary Liver cancers
originate from Colorectal cancers
Up to 80 percent of primary Liver cancers around the world are caused by infection with Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C virus. Infection with these viruses can affect you for many years and result in Cirrhosis (scarring) in your Liver. People normally get infected through physical contact with the blood or bodily fluids of a person who has the virus in their body.The other risk factors of Liver cancer are excessive alcohol consumption, Smoking, Cirrhosis of the Liver, obesity, fatty Liver etc. Risk factors are the reasons to increase the chances of a person getting Liver cancer. So avoiding these risk factors can also avert from the risk of Liver cancer. Every day you make decisions that affect your Liver health. The choices you make on household product purchases, food consumption and daily activity can have positive or negative effects on your Liver.You can lower your risk of developing Liver cancer by following healthy lifestyle measures, such as regular exercise, controlling your weight, and eating a healthy diet, avoid consuming alcohol/ Smoking .Get vaccinated for Hepatitis B virus. Those who are at risk should get themselves screened ever year.
Unfortunately,
Liver cancers don’t always present any obvious symptoms in their early
stages. If you know you're at risk of Liver cancer, talk to your healthcare
provider, since signs and symptoms often do not appear until it is in later
stages of the disease. Once
the symptoms occur they can include fatigue, bloating of abdomen or feeling of fullness
in the abdomen,
Pain on the right side of the upper abdomen or back, nausea, loss of appetite,
unintentional weight loss, weakness, fever, Jaundice etc
Screening options for Liver
cancer include testing the blood for alpha-fetoprotein
(AFP)(Tumor marker test) or having imaging tests like an ultrasound,
computed tomography (CT) scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)scan, PET
CT scan. Along with regular screening,
practice awareness. This means you should be familiar with your body. If you notice
any changes like jaundice, weight loss, pain etc. Then, report them to your
doctor without delay.
The common treatments for HCC
and IHC, include surgery to remove part of your Liver, liver transplantation and Liver-directed treatments like
Hepatic arterial embolization and ablation, several types of chemotherapy,
chemoembolization, radiation therapy, radioembolization, immunotherapy and
targeted therapy.
