Liver cancer symptoms
early-Liver cancer is a type of cancer in which malignant cells are found in
the liver, the second largest organ in our body. The liver weighs about 2 to 6
pounds and is located in the right upper abdomen. The liver has many duties,
such as detoxifying substances, secreting bile and metabolizing carbohydrates,
fats and proteins.
liver cancer can also
be referred to as a condition that
happens when normal cells in the liver become abnormal in appearance and
behavior. The cancer cells can then become destructive to adjacent normal
tissues, and can spread both to other areas of the liver and to organs outside
the liver. Malignant or cancerous cells that develop in the normal cells of the
liver (hepatocytes) are called hepatocellular carcinoma. A cancer that arises
in the ducts of the liver is called cholangiocarcinoma
