Liver cancer, or hepatocellular carcinoma, develops in the liver cells and is often linked to chronic liver diseases. Causes include hepatitis B and C infections, cirrhosis, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. A Gastro Doctor diagnoses liver cancer through imaging tests, blood tests, and biopsies. To lower the risk, avoid heavy drinking, maintain a healthy weight, get vaccinated against hepatitis B, and manage liver diseases effectively. Treatments offered by a Gastro Doctor can involve surgery, liver transplantation, ablation therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies, depending on the cancer stage. Early treatment is crucial for a better prognosis, as it can slow the disease's progression, manage symptoms, and improve overall survival and quality of life.
