Overview
Liver cancer is a serious condition that begins in the cells of the liver, most commonly as hepatocellular carcinoma. The liver plays a vital role in digestion, detoxification, and metabolism. Liver cancer is often associated with underlying liver disease and requires specialized, multidisciplinary care for optimal outcomes.
Symptoms
In early stages, liver cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, symptoms may include abdominal pain or swelling, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes), dark urine, pale stools, and swelling in the legs or abdomen.
Risk Factors
Risk factors for liver cancer include chronic hepatitis B or C infection, liver cirrhosis, excessive alcohol consumption, fatty liver disease, diabetes, obesity, exposure to toxins, and family history of liver cancer.
