Liver Cancer is a disease caused by an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells, also called malignancy. It is a group of 100 different diseases, and is not contagious.
Certain genes control the life cycle—the growth, function, division, and death—of a cell. When these genes are damaged, the balance between normal cell growth and death is lost. Cancer cells are caused by DNA damage and out-of-control cell growth.
Genetic mutations may cause cancer. For example, mutations of genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 (linked to an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers) can inhibit the body’s ability to safeguard and repair DNA. Copies of these mutated genes can be passed on genetically to future generations, leading to a genetically inherited increased risk of cancer.
In other words
Cancer refers to cells that grow out-of-control and invade other tissues. Cells may become cancerous due to the accumulation of defects, or mutations, in their DNA. Certain inherited genetic defects (for example, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations) and infections can increase the risk of cancer. Environmental factors (for example, air pollution) and poor lifestyle choices—such as smoking and heavy alcohol use—can also damage DNA and lead to cancer.
Liver cancer can spread quickly depending on the type of cancer. Hemangiosarcoma and angiosarcoma types of liver cancer are fast spreading, whereas hepatocellular carcinoma spreads late in the disease.
Liver Cancer
Most people who get liver cancer also known as hepatocellular carcinoma, get it in the setting of chronic liver disease (long-term liver damage called cirrhosis), which scars the liver and increases the risk for liver cancer. Conditions that cause cirrhosis are alcohol use/abuse, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
The causes of liver cancer may be linked to environmental, dietary, or lifestyle factors. Incidence rates of hepatocellular cancer are rising in the world due to the increasing prevalence of cirrhosis caused by chronic hepatitis C and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Liver Cancer Definition
Primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma also called hepatic cancer, is a condition or disease that happens when normal cells in the liver become abnormal in appearance and behavior. The cancer cells can then become destructive to adjacent normal tissues and can spread both to other areas of the liver and organs outside the liver.
Malignant Cancer
Malignant or cancerous cells that develop in the normal cells of the liver (hepatocytes) are called hepatocellular carcinoma. Cancer that arises in the ducts of the liver is called cholangiocarcinoma.
Malignant tumors of the liver are most commonly metastases, or areas of distant spread, from tumors that arise elsewhere in the body. These tumors are not true liver cancers; instead they are named by their site of origin, such as lung cancer metastatic to the liver. True liver cancers are malignancies that arise in the cells of the liver.
Symptoms of liver cancer arise most commonly in the later stages of the disease and include
- weight loss,
- nausea,
- vomiting,
- loss of appetite,
- fatigue, and
- abdominal swelling.
Metastatic liver cancer
Metastatic cancer is cancer that has spread from the place where it first started (the primary site) to another place in the body (secondary site) it means that: cancer from other organs has spread through the bloodstream to the liver. Here the liver cells are not what have become cancerous. The liver has become the site to which cancer that started elsewhere has spread. Metastatic cancer has the same name and same type of cancer cells as original cancer. The most common cancers that spread to the liver are breast, colon, bladder, kidney, ovary, pancreas, stomach, uterus, and lungs etc.
Some patients with metastatic tumors do not have symptoms. Their metastases are found by X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, or other tests. Enlargement of the liver or jaundice (yellowing of the skin) can indicate cancer has spread to the liver.
Benign Tumors (Non Cancerous)
A tumor is an abnormal mass of cells. Tumors can either be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Benign tumors grow locally and do not spread. As a result, benign tumors are not considered cancer. They can still be dangerous, especially if they press against vital organs like the brain.
Stages of Cancer
Doctors use the stages of cancer to classify cancer according to its size, location, and extent of spread. Staging helps doctors determine the prognosis and treatment for cancer. The TNM staging system classifies cancers according to:
-
Stage 1:
It is single primary tumor of any size. Itis found only in liver and not grown into any blood vessels. The cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or distant sites also.
-
Stage 2:
It is also single primary tumor of any size OR there is more than one tumor present in liver. But in this stage 2, tumor has spread to the blood vessels, and they are all smaller than 5 cm in diameter. The cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or distant sites also.
-
Stage 3:
Stage 3 liver cancer is divided into three subcategories:
-
Stage 3(A):
In this stage, there are several tumors and one of them is larger than 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. The cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or distant sites.
-
Stage 3(B):
In this stage, there are several tumors and one tumor of them is growing into a branch of the portal vein or the hepatic vein. The liver cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or distant sites
-
Stage 3(C):
In this stage, the tumor has grown into a nearby organ (other than the gallbladder) OR the tumor has grown into the outer covering of the liver. The cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or distant sites.
-
Stage 4:
Stage 4 liver cancer is divided into two subcategories:
-
Stage 4(A):
In this stage, the tumors are of any size or number and have spread beyond the liver to blood vessels or nearby organs. The cancer has invaded nearby lymph nodes, but cancer has not spread to distant sites.
-
Stage 4(B):
In this stage, liver cancer has spread to other parts of the body (Metastasis).
Some cancers, including those of the brain, spinal cord, bone marrow (lymphoma), blood (leukemia), and female reproductive system, do not receive a TNM classification. Instead, these cancers are classified according to a different staging systems.
Symptoms and signs
Liver cancer causes no symptoms of its own. As the tumor grows, it may cause symptoms of pain in the right side of the abdomen or feel overly full after eating a little. Some patients may have worsening
symptoms of chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, which often precedes the development of cancer of the liver. For example, patients may complain of:
- unexplained weight loss, wasting (cachexia),
- decreased appetite,
- nausea or vomiting,
- a feeling of an enlarged liver (feeling a mass under the ribs on the right side),
- enlarged spleen (feeling a mass under the ribs on the left side),
- pain in the abdomen or near the right shoulder blade,
- increased swelling of the feet and belly,
- fluid build-up in the belly,
- itching,
- swollen legs, and
- yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice).
Types of liver cancer and liver tumors
Benign liver tumors: This type of tumor can become large enough to cause problems but will not spread to other areas of the body.
-
Hemangioma:
A hemangioma is a blood vessel tumor that only requires treatment if it bleeds.
-
Hepatic adenoma:
This is a type of benign liver tumor, which may cause abdominal pain or blood loss. Surgical removal is usually recommended.
-
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH):
This tumor is made up of several different types of cells (liver, bile duct, and connective tissue cells).
Liver angiosarcoma (or hepatic angiosarcoma) and hemangiosarcoma are rare. This is a cancer of the inner lining of the blood vessels. Since the symptoms of liver angiosarcoma are nonspecific, usually this type of liver cancer is not discovered until it is too late to be treated effectively.
-
Hepatocellular carcinoma:
This is the most common form of primary cancer. Primary liver cancer is cancer that began in the liver. It can occur as a single tumor or many small cancer nodules throughout the liver. Primary liver cancer will commonly spread to the lungs, the portal vein (kidney), and portal lymph nodes.
-
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer):
As described by its name, this cancer starts where the bile duct connects to the liver. Between 10%-15% of the liver, cancers are of this type. This type of cancer commonly spreads (metastasis) to the lymph nodes, lungs, and bone marrow.
-
Hepatoblastoma:
This is rare cancer found in children, usually under age 4.
-
Secondary cancer:
This is cancer that started elsewhere in the body and spread to the liver. This spread of cancer from a primary site to other parts of the body is called metastasis. Secondary cancer will be treated by the techniques that have been successful for the primary type of cancer. For example, lung cancer that has spread to the liver will be treated using lung cancer protocols, which are the standards of medical care that have been effective for lung cancer.
Lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system including the lymph nodes, also commonly spreads to the liver. Pancreatic cancer may also spread to the liver.
Risk factors
Incidence rates of hepatocellular cancer are rising around the world due to the increasing prevalence of cirrhosis caused by chronic hepatitis C and steatohepatitis (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease).
Cirrhosis of the liver due to any cause is a risk factor for liver cancer. The risk factors for liver cancer in cirrhosis are being male, age 55 years or older, European, Asian or Hispanic ethnicity, family history in a first-degree relative, obesity, hepatitis B and C, alcohol use, and elevated iron content in the blood due to hemochromatosis.
Chronic hepatitis B infection even without cirrhosis is a risk factor for liver cancer.
Diagnosis of liver cancer
The best way to detect liver cancer is through surveillance ultrasound of the liver done by an oncologist
every 6 months in a patient with a diagnosis of cirrhosis. As with most forms of cancer, it is best to treat liver cancer as soon as it is detected.
Once a suspicion of liver cancer arises, a physician will order one of the following to confirm a diagnosis:
Blood tests
alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), which may be elevated in 70% of patients with liver cancer. AFP levels could be normal in liver cancer. A rising level of AFP is suspicious for liver cancer. The AFP may be elevated with cirrhosis and chronic active hepatitis. Other labs tests include des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin, which can be elevated in most patients with liver cancer.
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) blood test is the most widely used biochemical blood tests. High levels of AFP in the blood are seen in three situations: HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma), cancer of the testes or ovaries, and liver cancer.
Imaging studies
Multiphasic helical CT scan and MRI with the contrast of the liver are the preferred imaging for detecting the location and extent of blood supply to cancer. If any imaging study is inconclusive, then an alternative imaging study or follow-up imaging study should be performed to help clarify the diagnosis. Lesions smaller than 1 cm are usually difficult to characterize.
Biopsy
A liver biopsy is performed to sample tissue from the lesion in the liver, which is analyzed by a pathologist to confirm the suspected diagnosis of liver cancer. A liver biopsy is not needed in every case, especially if the imaging study and lab markers are characteristic of liver cancer. Risks of liver biopsy are infection, bleeding, or seeding of the needle track with cancer. Seeding is when cancer cells get on the needle used for a biopsy and spread to other areas touched by the needle. Liver biopsy of suspected liver cancer carries the added risk of seeding the liver biopsy needle track in 1%-3% of cases. If a liver biopsy is inconclusive, then a repeat imaging study is recommended at 3- to 6-month intervals.
The Role of Lymph Nodes in Cancer Diagnosis
Cancer that originates in the lymph nodes or other area of the lymphatic system is called lymphoma. Cancer that originates elsewhere in the body can spread to lymph nodes. The presence of metastasized cancer in the lymph nodes may mean the cancer is growing quickly and/or is more likely to spread to other sites. The presence of cancer in lymph nodes often affects prognosis and treatment decisions. Many diagnostic tests look at the lymph nodes as an indicator.
Is liver cancer curable?
Liver cancer is difficult to cure, as it is most often not caught in the early stage. with allopathic drugs, Liver cancer may never go away completely, but with Homeopathy it is possible. Blood tests and imaging tests may be part of a patient’s survivorship plan. Statistics for liver cancer are difficult to apply to a specific patient, like the forms, stages, and responses to treatment vary per individual.
Allopathic treatment options for liver cancer
The allopathic treatment – as we know that cancers are not curable with allopathic treatments, however allopathic treatment chosen depends upon how much cancer has spread and the general health of the 
liver. For example, the extent of cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver can determine the treatment options for cancer. Similarly, the spread and extent of the spread of cancer beyond the liver tissue play an important part in the types of liver cancer treatment options that may be most effective.
Treatment with chemotherapy, radiation, targeted treatments (drugs designed to target a specific type of cancer cell) or immunosuppressive drugs used to decrease the spread of cancer throughout the body can also cause damage to healthy cells. Some “second cancers”, completely separate from the initial cancer, have been known to occur following aggressive cancer treatments; however, researchers are producing drugs that cause less damage to healthy cells (for example, targeted therapy).
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants
Hematopoietic stem cell transplants involve the infusion of stem cells into a cancer patient after the bone marrow has been destroyed by high-dose chemo and/or radiation.
Angiogenesis Inhibitors
Angiogenesis inhibitors are medications that inhibit the growth of new blood vessels that cancerous tumors need in order to grow.
Cryosurgery
Cryosurgery involves the application of extreme cold to kill precancerous and cancerous cells.
Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the application of laser energy of a specific wavelength to tissue that has been treated with a photosensitizing agent, a medication that makes cancerous tissue susceptible to destruction with laser treatment. It selectively destroys cancer cells while minimizing the damage to normal, healthy tissues nearby.
Surgery:
I allopathy liver cancer can be treated sometimes with surgery to remove the part of the liver with cancer. Surgical options are reserved for the smaller sizes of cancer tumors. Complications from surgery may include bleeding (which can be severe), infection, pneumonia, or side effects of anesthesia.
Liver transplant:
The doctor replaces the cancerous liver with a healthy liver from another person. It is usually used in very small unresectable (inoperable or not able to be removed) liver tumors in patients with advanced cirrhosis. Liver transplantation surgery may have the same complications as noted above for surgery. Also, complications from medications related to a liver transplant may include possible rejection of the liver transplant, infection due to suppression of the immune system, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, weakening of the kidneys and bones, and an increase in body hair.
Ablation therapy:
This is a procedure that can kill cancer cells in the liver without any surgery. The doctor can kill cancer cells using heat, laser, or injecting special alcohol or acid directly into cancer. This technique also may be used in palliative care when the cancer is unresectable.
Embolization:
Blocking the blood supply to cancer can be done using a procedure called embolization. This technique uses a catheter to inject particles or beads that can block blood vessels that feed cancer. Starving the cancer of the blood supply prevents the growth of cancer. When this technique uses chemotherapy and synthetic material, it is sometimes called chemoembolization, as it blocks off the blood supply and traps the chemotherapy agent in a tumor. This technique is usually used on patients with large liver cancer for palliation. Complications of embolization include fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, and some side effects from drugs.
Radiation therapy:
Radiation uses high-energy rays directed to cancer to kill cancer cells.
Normal liver cells are also very sensitive to radiation. Complications of radiation therapy include skin irritation near the treatment site, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting.
Chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy uses medicine that kills cancer cells. The medicine can be given by mouth or by injecting into a vein or artery feeding the liver. People can have a variety of side effects from chemotherapy, depending on the medications used and the patient’s response. Complications of chemotherapy include fatigue, easy bruising, hair loss, nausea and vomiting,
swollen legs, diarrhea, and mouth sores. These side effects are usually temporary.
Targeted agent:
Sorafenib (Nexavar) is an oral medication that can prolong survival (up to 3 months) in patients with advanced liver cancer. Side effects of sorafenib (Nexavar) include fatigue, rash, high blood pressure, sores on the hands and feet, and loss of appetite.
Clinical trials
A clinical trial (experiments) is a way to receive specific treatments in a carefully controlled way to determine whether a new therapy approach is safe, effective, and better than existing therapies. A new treatment may be a drug, a device, a different way to do a surgery, a combination of two or more drugs, methods of treatment, or even diet. The government maintains a website at ClinicalTrials.gov where more information on trials related to liver cancer can be found. The research from clinical trials, including the statistics supporting the effectiveness of the intervention being tested, is important in the introduction of new treatment methods and ways to change the standard of medical care for all types of liver cancer.
In addition to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, other therapies are used to treat cancer. These include:
Targeted or Biological Therapies (Homeopathic Therapy)
Targeted or biological therapies seek to treat cancer and boost the body’s immune system while minimizing damage to normal, healthy cells. Monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulating drugs, vaccines, and cytokines are examples of targeted or biological therapies.

Prognosis and survival rates of liver cancer?
The prognosis for liver cancer depends on type of treatment (allopathic/Homeopathic) and multiple factors such as the size of the liver cancer, the number of lesions, the presence of spread beyond the liver, the health of the surrounding liver tissue, and the general health of the patient. Life expectancy depends on many factors that impact whether cancer is curable.
However, the survival rate is still very low. Primary liver cancer deaths are usually from liver failure, bleeding, or advanced cancer.
