What is Liver Cancer?
Liver cancer is a serious and life-threatening disease that begins in the liver cells and can spread to other parts of the body if not diagnosed and treated early. Common causes include chronic liver conditions such as Hepatitis B or C, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, and exposure to certain toxins or chemicals.
The liver plays a vital role in filtering toxins from the blood, producing bile for digestion, and storing essential vitamins and minerals. The development of cancerous cells disrupts these functions, leading to severe complications.
Importance of Early Detection and Diagnosis
Detecting liver cancer in its early stages significantly improves treatment outcomes. Unfortunately, early liver cancer is often asymptomatic, making timely diagnosis challenging. Common risk factors and symptoms include:
-
Chronic liver diseases like Hepatitis B or C
-
Excessive alcohol consumption
-
Obesity
-
Abdominal pain or discomfort
-
Unexplained weight loss
-
Jaundice
-
Fatigue or weakness
-
Loss of appetite
If you experience any of these symptoms or have a history of liver disease, consult a healthcare professional promptly. Early detection offers more treatment options and a higher chance of successful recovery.
Liver Cancer Treatment Options
Recent advancements in liver cancer treatments have provided hope for patients in India. Treatment approaches include both surgical and non-surgical options to remove or destroy cancerous cells.
Surgical Interventions
- 1. Hepatectomy: Removal of the portion of the liver containing the tumor. This can be partial or total, the latter requiring a liver transplant.
- 2. Liver Resection:Removal of the tumor along with a small margin of healthy tissue, often suitable for small, localized tumors.
- 3. Liver Transplantation:The most effective option for advanced liver cancer, involving the replacement of the diseased liver with a healthy one from a donor. Limited by the availability of donors.
Non-Surgical Options
- 1. Radiation Therapy: High-energy beams target and destroy cancer cells. Delivered externally or internally depending on the tumor's size and location.
- 2. Targeted Therapy:Drugs specifically targeting cancer cells while sparing healthy cells. These drugs can inhibit tumor growth or its blood supply.
- 3. Chemotherapy:Systemic treatment using drugs to kill cancer cells, often combined with other modalities.
Liver Transplants for Liver Cancer Patients
Liver transplantation is a curative option for certain patients. Factors influencing eligibility include tumor size, the number of tumors, underlying liver conditions, and overall health.The procedure requires a multidisciplinary team, including transplant surgeons, hepatologists, oncologists, and radiologists. Success depends on factors like donor compatibility, effective post-transplant care, and long-term follow-up.
