liver tumors

Liver tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the liver, which is an essential organ responsible for detoxification, metabolism, and producing vital proteins. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Liver cancer often starts when liver cells grow uncontrollably, frequently related to chronic liver diseases like hepatitis or cirrhosis. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, or jaundice, but some tumors are found during imaging tests for other issues. Diagnosis involves imaging scans and sometimes biopsy. Treatment options vary based on the tumor's size, type, and liver function, including surgery, targeted therapy, or liver transplantation.
