Liver Cancer
Liver is vulnerable to several types of cancers,
such as Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Intrahepatic
Cholangiocarcinoma and Hepatoblastoma.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma is the most prevalent
form of liver cancer that originates from
Hepatocyte, the primary cells found in liver.
Individuals with chronic liver issues like
cirrhosis are more prone to this dreaded
condition. Atypical Hepatocellular Carcinoma
screening involves blood tests, standard imaging
tests and liver biopsy. Advanced imaging tests,
including Magnetic Resonance Elastography may
also be used.

As per the TNM system for staging, liver cancer
is categorized into four stages and several
sub-stages.
Stage 1 At the onset of liver cancer, a tumour
develops within the liver. However, effects of
the tumour are localized, as it is yet to come in
contact with any blood vessels. Stage 2The
tumour grows in dimension reaching a size up to 5
cm across. The possibility of developing several
small tumours is also there. Though the tumour
has grown into blood vessels, the spread is still
localised. Stage 3This stage is also
characterised by outgrowth of the tumour(s). The
average size of the tumour is 5 cm across, and
surrounding lymph nodes still remain immune to
the cancer.

Stage 3B One or more tumours intrude into the
portal or hepatic vein of the liver. Here the
nearby lymph nodes and distant body organs are
yet to get in contact with the malignancy. Stage
3CThe tumour has either engulfed the outer
surface of the liver or penetrated into nearby
organs. Distant sites are still not affected by
the cancer. Stage 4A The size and number of
tumours in the liver grow phenomenally. This
stage also marks the spread of tumours into lymph
nodes, blood vessels or surrounding organs. The
distant sites are still unaffected. Stage 4BThe
entire body is infected by the malignant cells.

Symptoms
The general prognosis of liver cancer is awful.
The symptoms remain dormant in the early stages
and when they surface, the disease becomes
virtually uncontrollable. The standard signs and
symptoms of liver cancer may include, but not
limited to, liver overgrowth, white-collared
stools and skin turning yellow. Other
non-specific symptoms include sudden and drastic
weight loss, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting,
constant fatigue and atypical swelling. These
symptoms are called nonspecific, as other chronic
disorders may trigger similar effects.
