Medical Conditions - Liver Cancer

Liver cancer might be primary, caused by the proliferation of liver cells, or secondary, which occurs when cancer cells from other organs reach the liver. The cancer of the liver cells (hepatocytes) is the most common type of liver cancer. Cancer may also occur in the duct and blood vessels of the liver. It causes abdominal discomfort, yellowish discoloration of skin and eyes, nausea, vomiting, etc. It is treated by chemotherapy, hepatectomy, ablation, radiation, liver transplantation, etc., based on the location and extent of cancer. Liver biopsy, liver function tests, scans, and MRIs help in the diagnosis of liver cancer.
