Liver cancer, often hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), arises from abnormal cell growth in the liver. Risk factors include chronic hepatitis B or C infection, alcohol abuse, and fatty liver disease. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, jaundice, and weight loss may signal its presence. Diagnosis involves imaging tests, biopsies, and blood tests. Treatment options vary depending on cancer stage and may include surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Prognosis is often poor, with late-stage diagnosis contributing to high mortality rates. Prevention strategies focus on lifestyle modifications, vaccination against hepatitis, and regular screenings for high-risk individuals, aiming to reduce liver cancer burden worldwide.
