Primary liver cancer is cancer that begins in the liver. It is common for the liver to be the site of metastasis (spreading) from other cancers, such as pancreas, colon, stomach, breast, or lung cancer. However, these are not primary liver cancer. For more information about cancer that started in another part of the body and spread to the liver, please see PLWC's information for that type of cancer.
The liver is the largest internal organ in the body, and its functions are vital to the digestion of food. No one can survive without a liver. Functions of the liver include:
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing cancer. Some risk factors can be controlled, such as smoking, and some cannot be controlled, such as age and family history.
Although risk factors can influence disease, for many risk factors it is not known whether they actually cause the disease directly. Some people with several risk factors never develop the disease, while others with no known risk factors do. However, knowing your risk factors and communicating them to your doctor can help you make more informed lifestyle and health-care choices.
The following factors can raise a person's risk of developing liver cancer. The main risks in the United States are chronic liver infection with the hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus or cirrhosis of the liver. Primary liver cancer usually develops several decades after such an infection starts.
Viral hepatitis. Viral hepatitis is the largest risk factor for this type of cancer. Hepatitis viruses are viruses that infect the liver. Two common types are hepatitis B and hepatitis C. People who are carriers of the hepatitis B virus face up to a 100-fold increased risk of developing adult primary liver cancer.
Viral hepatitis can be transmitted through exposure to another person's blood or bodily fluids through injury, by sharing needles during drug use, or by sexual contact. In the case of hepatitis B, an unborn baby or infant can become infected from an infected mother, although this can be avoided by vaccinating the baby. If you develop acute hepatitis B or C and then "clear the virus," you have no increased risk of liver cancer. Only people who don't clear the virus (those who become "carriers") are at an increased risk. Your doctor will be able to perform blood tests that tell if you have cleared the virus.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
A new lump, growth or swelling that is painless, firm, and growing — the most common early sign of cancer that requires immediate biopsy.
Losing more than 5 kg without trying — a systemic sign of cancer that affects the body's metabolism and nutritional status.
Extreme tiredness unrelated to activity or sleep — caused by cancer cells consuming the body's energy resources and bone marrow infiltration.
Yellowing of skin/eyes (jaundice), blood in urine or stool, change in bowel habits persisting more than 4 weeks — potential signs of GI or GU malignancy.
Drenching night sweats, persistent low-grade fever, and recurring infections — classic 'B symptoms' of lymphoma and haematological cancers.
Raised tumour markers (PSA, CEA, CA-125, AFP), abnormal lymph nodes on CT/PET-CT, or suspicious finding on MRI requiring oncology evaluation.
