LIVER CANCER

Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer, occurs when there is abnormal growth of cells in the liver. It is a serious condition that requires proper medical evaluation and care.

What Is Liver Cancer?

Liver cancer develops when abnormal cells grow in the liver.

There are two main types of liver cancer:

Primary Liver Cancer

Primary liver cancer arises within the cells of the liver.

Secondary Liver Cancer

Secondary liver cancer is metastatic liver cancer. It occurs when cancer cells from another part of the body spread to the liver.

Causes and Risk Factors of Liver Cancer

There are several factors that may be responsible for increasing the risk of liver cancer, including:

1. Chronic viral infections: Chronic infections such as Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C can be associated with liver cancer.

3. Alcohol consumption
