Understanding Liver Cancer<\/strong><\/p>

The liver continuously filters blood that circulates through the body, converting nutrients and drugs absorbed from the digestive tract into usable chemicals. The liver also removes toxins and other chemical waste products from the blood and readying them for excretion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The liver Cancers can be\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

1. <\/span>Primary liver cancer<\/b>, that arises in the liver. Generally\u2014<\/span>HCC or Hepato Cellular Cancer\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

  1. Metastatic Cancer<\/b>–Cancer which forms in other parts of the body and then spreads to the liver.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    Most liver cancer is secondary or metastatic, meaning it started elsewhere in the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Primary liver cancer, which starts in the liver, accounts for about 2% of cancers in the U.S., but up to half of all cancers in some undeveloped countries. This is mainly due to the prevalence of hepatitis, caused by contagious viruses, that predisposes a person to liver cancer. Primary liver cancer is twice as many men as women, at an average age of 67.<\/span><\/p>

    What Causes Liver Cancer?<\/b><\/p>

    Primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) tends to occur in <\/span>genetic cause<\/b>, <\/span>alcohol abuse, or chronic infection <\/b>with diseases such as<\/span> hepatitis B and C, hemochromatosis <\/b>(a hereditary disease associated with too much iron in the liver), and <\/span>cirrhosis.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    More than half of all people diagnosed with primary liver cancer have cirrhosis — a scarring condition of the liver commonly caused by alcohol abuse. Hepatitis B and C and hemochromatosis can cause permanent damage and liver failure. Liver cancer may also be linked to <\/span>obesity and fatty liver disease<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

    Liver Cancer Symptoms\u2014<\/b><\/p>

    Liver cancer usually has no initial symptoms or may have vague symptoms such as fatigue, fever, chills, and night sweats. Eventually, symptoms may include:<\/span><\/p>
