Fibrolamellar carcinoma

Fibrolamellar carcinoma is a rare and distinct type of liver cancer that typically occurs in young adults without usual liver disease risk factors. Unlike common liver cancers, it often develops in healthy liver tissue. The tumor has unique features under the microscope and may present with symptoms like abdominal pain or a lump. It tends to grow more slowly than other liver cancers and can sometimes be treated effectively with surgery. Ongoing research aims to better understand its cause and improve targeted treatments for affected patients.
