Liver Cancer Treatment India

Liver Cancer

Primary liver cancer begins in the cells of the liver itself. Although many cancers are declining in the United States, new cases of primary liver cancer are increasing.

Cancers that commonly spread to the liver include colon, lung and breast cancers. These cancers aren't called liver cancer. Instead, they are named after the organ in which the cancer began — such as metastatic colon cancer to describe cancer that begins in the colon and spreads to the liver. These metastatic cancers are treated based on where the cancer began, rather than being treated as primary liver cancers....

Stages of primary cancer in children : -

Doctors use the following stages to describe childhood liver cancer : -

* Stage I. At this stage, the cancer can be removed with surgery.
* Stage II. Most stage II liver cancers can be removed with an operation, but microscopic amounts of cancer remain in the liver after surgery.....

Symptoms of Liver Cancer

Most people don't have signs and symptoms in the early stages of liver cancer, which means the disease may not be detected until it's quite advanced.....

Causes of Liver Cancer

Your liver is a football-sized organ that sits in the upper right portion of your abdomen, beneath your diaphragm and above your stomach. Your liver processes most of the nutrients absorbed from your small intestine and determines how much sugar (glucose), protein and fat enter your bloodstream. It also manufactures blood-clotting substances and certain proteins. Your liver performs a vital detoxifying function by removing drugs, alcohol and other harmful substances from your bloodstream....

Types include : -

* Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) : - This is the most common form of primary liver cancer in both children and adults. It starts in the hepatocytes, the main type of liver cell....

Metastatic cancer : -

In the United States, most cancer found in the liver has spread there from another part of the body. Rather than being referred to as liver cancer, this type of cancer is usually named after the organ where it originated and is described as "metastatic." For instance, cancer that has spread to the liver from the colon is referred to as metastatic colon cancer....

Risk factors of Liver Cancer

Primary liver cancer can affect people of all ages and races, but certain factors may increase your risk, including : -

1) Sex : - Men are more likely to develop liver cancer than are women, though it isn't clear why.

2) Age : - In the United States and Europe, liver cancer diagnosis occurs on average at about age 60. People in Asia and Africa tend to be diagnosed with liver cancer at younger ages — between 20 and 50.....

Tests and diagnosis of Liver Cancer

Screening : -

Screening for liver cancer hasn't been definitively proved to reduce the risk of dying of liver cancer. For this reason, many medical groups don't recommend liver cancer screening.

However, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases recommends liver cancer screening for those thought to have a high risk.....

Diagnosis : -

If you experience any of the symptoms of liver cancer, your doctor will ask you about your medical history and perform a physical exam.

Tests and procedures used to diagnose liver cancer include : -

* Ultrasound (ultrasonography) : - This test uses sound waves to produce a picture of internal organs, including the liver. Ultrasound is painless and usually takes less than 30 minutes. While you lie on a bed or examining table, a wand-shaped device (transducer) is placed on your body. It emits sound waves that are reflected from your liver and transformed into a computer image. Ultrasound provides information about the shape, texture and makeup of tumors.......

Staging : -

Staging tests help determine the size and location of cancer and whether it has spread. Liver cancer may be staged in different ways. One method uses the Roman numerals I through IV, with higher numbers indicating cancers that are more advanced. A stage I tumor is small and confined to one lobe of the liver. By stage IV, several tumors may exist in different lobes, or malignant cells may have spread to other parts of the body.

Treatments of Liver Cancer

Treatments for primary liver cancer depend on the extent (stage) of the disease as well as your age, overall health, feelings and personal preferences. Discuss all of your options carefully with your treatment team......

Treatments for adults with primary liver cancer include : -

* Surgery : - The best treatment for localized resectable cancer is usually an operation known as surgical resection. In some cases, the area of the liver where the cancer is found can be completely removed. You aren't a candidate for surgical removal of liver tumors if you have cirrhosis or only a small amount of healthy liver tissue. Even when resections are successful, there is a chance the cancer can recur elsewhere in the liver or in other areas within a few years....
