    Liver Cancer

    Hepatocellular carcinoma commonly known as liver cancer is a deadly cancer. It will kill almost all patients who have it within a year. The World Health Organization estimated approximately four hundred thirty thousand new cases of liver cancer worldwide and a similar number of patients died as a result of the disease. Most average areas of the world with high rate of people being affected by the disease are the sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.

    The liver is the largest organ in the body, which is found behind the ribs on the right side of the abdomen and it has two parts: the right lobe and the smaller left lobe. It has a lot important functions that keep a person healthy; it eliminates harmful substances from the blood, it makes enzymes and bile that aid us digest food, and it also converts food into materials needed for life and growth. The liver gets its supply of blood from two vessels, the hepatic portal vein where the bulk blood comes from, and the rest comes from the hepatic artery.

    Hepatic tumors are tumors or growths on or in the liver, which can be benign or malignant (cancerous). Tumors of the liver eventuate when there is an inaccuracy in the common regulation of growth of any cells in the liver, including the liver cells themselves (hepatocyte), the bile duct, or the blood vessels within the liver.
    Initial symptoms of liver cancer are unpredictable. In countries where this disease is very common, generally the cancer is discovered at a very advanced stage of the disease because of various reasons; one of them being the areas where there is high frequency of the disease are usually developing countries and access to healthcare is limited, another is screening examinations for patients at risk for developing the cancer are not obtainable in these areas. To contribute up to these, patients from these regions actually have more aggressive liver cancer diseases therefore reaching the advanced stage more rapidly. Symptoms of this disease include pain in the upper abdomen on the right side (the pain may extend to the back and shoulder), swollen abdomen (bloating), weight loss, loss of appetite and feelings of fullness, weakness or feeling very sluggish, nausea and vomiting, yellow skin and eyes, dark urine from jaundice, and fever.
    The best technique to prevent liver cancer is avoiding the risk reasons that are linked with it. Keeping away from the excessive use of alcohol and quitting smoking can alleviate the risk of liver cancer. Preventing and treating HBV and HCV infections is also important. In other parts of the world, changing the technique that foods are stored and processed can decrease the risk of aflatoxin exposure. Proper treatment of water can alleviate the risk of arsenic in drinking water. Right treatment of inherited diseases associated with cirrhosis and liver cancer can alleviate the risk of developing either of the disease. Although the risk of liver cancer can never be diminished to zero, it can be significantly alleviated by avoiding known risk factors.
