Risk factors for liver cancer include chronic viral hepatitis (B or C), cirrhosis, excessive alcohol consumption, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), obesity, exposure to certain toxins or chemicals, and certain genetic conditions.
Diagnosis of liver cancer may involve imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI), blood tests to assess liver function and detect tumor markers, and a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
Treatment options for liver cancer depend on the stage and extent of the disease. They may include surgery (resection, liver transplant), ablation therapy, embolization, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Dr. Arun Nair will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on individual factors.
While it may not be entirely preventable, reducing the risk of liver cancer can be achieved by practicing healthy lifestyle habits, such as avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight, getting vaccinated against hepatitis B, practicing safe sex, and avoiding exposure to toxins.
Recovery time after liver cancer surgery can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the individual’s overall health. Generally, it may take several weeks to months to fully recover. Dr. Arun Nair will provide post-operative care instructions and closely monitor the progress during follow-up visits.
