Liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma, is a type of cancer that originates in the cells of the liver. It can also occur as a result of cancer that spreads from other parts of the body to the liver, known as metastatic liver cancer. Symptoms of liver cancer may include abdominal pain or discomfort, swelling or fluid buildup in the abdomen, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, jaundice,, which is the yellowing of the skin and eyes, and fatigue. Risk factors for liver cancer include persistent infection with hepatitis B or C viruses, scarring of the liver, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, and exposure to certain toxins or chemicals. Treatment options for liver cancer depend on factors such as the stage and location of the cancer, but may include surgery, liver transplant, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving the chances of successful treatment and recovery.
