What Is Liver Cancer?
Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer, refers to the abnormal growth of cells in the liver. It can originate in the liver (primary liver cancer) or spread to the liver from other parts of the body (secondary or metastatic liver cancer). The most common type of primary liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Chronic Infections: Hepatitis B and C infections are major risk factors.
- Cirrhosis: Scarring of the liver due to chronic liver diseases like alcoholic liver disease or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
- Excessive Alcohol Consumption: Heavy and prolonged alcohol use increases the risk.
- Toxins: Exposure to certain chemicals and toxins can contribute to liver cancer development.
