What is liver cancer?
Liver cancer encompasses all tumors or cancers within the liver, and is the third commonest cancer in the world. Liver cancer includes primary liver tumors, which arise within the liver , and secondary liver tumors which spread to the liver from other sites.

What are the treatment options available?
Early cancers can be treated by surgical removal (resection), destruction of the individual tumors by targeted chemotherapy (TACE) or liver transplantation. Treatment depends on the liver's condition, size, location, and number of tumors, the person's age and overall health. The risks and benefits of treatment vary widely depending upon the extent of the tumor, the state of the underlying liver and the general condition of the patient. It is important to tailor the treatment to the individual patient.

What are the risk factors ?
Viral hepatitis - Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections have an important association with liver cancer. Approximately 4% and 1% of all Indians have HBV or HCV infection respectively. Cirrhosis is a progressive disorder that leads to scarring of the liver. Cirrhosis is the end result of all forms of chronic liver damage. Patients who have both chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis, have a greater than 100-fold increased risk of developing liver cancer. Obesity: One third of all obese patients may have liver disease. Diabetes can increase risk of liver cancer, especially in those who have chronic HBV or HCV infection. Other factors include smoking and betel nut/tobacco chewing.

What is the world-class technology that will be used for treatment at BGS Global Hospital?
BGS Global Hospitals is one of the few institutions where all modalities of treatment- surgical, medical and radiological can be offered under one roof, and by world-renowned experts working together in an integrated fashion to address the physical, social and psychological aspects of cancer. We offer advanced chemotherapy, radiation therapy using the TrueBeam STx technology and surgical resection using the latest technology. We also offer the services of the fastest growing liver transplantation program in the country for selected patients with liver cancer.

What are the Signs and Symptoms?
Liver cancer usually has no obvious symptoms. Symptoms which may be caused by liver cancer include unexplained weight loss, lack of appetite, abdominal pain, increasing abdominal girth. The best chance for patients who are at risk for liver cancer is regular surveillance so that cancers can be found early. Patients who have a liver disease that puts them at a high risk of developing liver cancer (such as hepatitis B or any form of cirrhosis) should undergo periodic screening tests.
