Overview

Liver cancer is a malignant tumor in the liver that can grow rapidly and spread to other parts of the body. It is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease. The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma, which starts in the cells of the liver. There are also rarer types of the disease, including cholangiocarcinoma, intrahepatic bile duct cancer, angiosarcoma, and hepatoblastoma, which start in different areas of the liver. Early detection and treatment are essential for improving a patient's prognosis, and the best way to diagnose liver cancer is through imaging tests such as CT scans and MRIs. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Supportive care is also important for managing symptoms and improving quality of life. With advances in technology, early detection and treatment of liver cancer can improve a patient's chance of survival.
