Liver cancer is a serious condition that develops when cells in the liver grow and multiply uncontrollably. It can be challenging to detect in its early stages, as the symptoms may not become apparent until the disease has progressed. 

Did you know liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the fourth leading cause of cancer death? In 2020, there were an estimated 905,677 new cases of liver cancer worldwide and 830,180 deaths.

Liver cancer is most common in people with a history of liver diseases, such as cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B or C infection, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Cancer is also more common in men than in women.

Liver cancer symptoms in males are similar to those in females and may include abdominal pain, jaundice, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and nausea or vomiting. However, liver cancer is more common in males than in females. Risk factors for liver cancer in men include a history of alcohol abuse, chronic viral hepatitis, and obesity.
