hepatic cancer

Hepatic cancer, also known as liver cancer, is a disease where abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the liver, a vital organ that processes nutrients, filters blood, and helps fight infections. It often develops quietly over time and may be linked to liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, or factors like alcohol use and certain toxins. Symptoms can include weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of the skin), abdominal pain, and swelling. Early detection is important, and treatment options include surgery, radiation, and targeted therapies, but prognosis depends on the cancer’s stage and overall liver health.
