Hepatic Carcinoma What You Need to Know

Hepatic carcinoma, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the most common type of liver cancer. It is a serious illness that can be life-threatening, but it is often treatable if it is caught early.

HCC is often caused by chronic liver diseases, such as hepatitis B or C infection, cirrhosis, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Other risk factors for HCC include alcohol abuse, smoking, and exposure to aflatoxin, a cancer-causing toxin found in moldy food.

The symptoms of HCC can be vague and may not appear until the cancer is advanced. Some common symptoms include:

Abdominal pain

Weight loss

Fatigue

Nausea and vomiting

Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)

Enlarged liver

Ascites (fluid buildup in the abdomen)

If you notice any of the symptoms, you must visit a Liver cancer specialist in Mumbai Dr. Praveen Kammar, at the earliest. Early diagnosis and treatment of HCC can improve your chances of survival.

The approach to treating HCC varies according to the cancer's stage. For localized HCC, surgery to remove the tumor may be an option. Other treatments for localized HCC include radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation, and cryoablation. These treatments use heat or cold to destroy the tumor.

For advanced HCC, treatment may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. These treatments can help to shrink the tumor and relieve symptoms.

Here are some things you can do to reduce your risk of hepatic carcinoma:

Get vaccinated against hepatitis B and C.

Avoid alcohol abuse.

Don't smoke.

Consume a nutritious diet and sustain healthy body weight.

Get regular screening tests if you are at high risk for HCC.

By taking these steps, you can help to protect yourself from this serious disease.
