Liver cancer is defined as the abnormal growth of cells in the liver with no control over the cells. The liver is an important organ that detoxifies blood, secretes bile for digestion, regulates metabolism, and stores some of the body’s energy requirements. When cancer develops in the liver, the consequences can be damaging to your overall health and chances of survival if not treated. Liver cancer requires timely, early diagnosis and treatment because in those early stages, the disease can progress quite quietly. 

Most patients are diagnosed only when they develop symptoms, and during this, there’s a good likelihood that the cancer has progressed. Identifying liver cancer early increases treatment options, the possibility of curative therapies and long-term survival. Liver cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers globally, especially in places with a high prevalence of chronic liver disease. It occurs more often in men than in women and is frequently related to coexisting liver disease such as cirrhosis or viral hepatitis.
