Liver cancer: Treatment depends on patient’s stage and age

Hepatocellular carcinoma is referred to as “liver cancer” as well. When normal liver cells undergo genetic alterations that cause them to become abnormal, the aberrant cells proliferate uncontrollably to become liver cancer tumour masses. Each year, this disease is discovered in more than 8,000 persons worldwide. With more than 7,00,000 fatalities from cancer each year, it is also one of the main cause of cancer mortality globally. Long-term liver illness (also known as chronic liver disease) is seen in more than half of patients who develop liver cancer.
