Liver Cancer Primary hepatic endocrinomas

Liver cancer is a malignant tumour that is localized in the liver. The neoplasm originates from liver cells or is a metastasis of another (primary) tumour. Liver metastases develop much more often than primary tumours. This is due to the nature of blood circulation and liver function in the body. Primary liver cancer has the following types: hepatocellular carcinoma, angioplasty sarcoma (angiosarcoma), hepatoblastoma and hemangiosarcoma, cholangiocarcinoma. The tumour develops very quickly, spreading to neighbouring organs. A feature of sarcomas is their occurrence mainly in young people and in children.

Treatment

Surgery is the main treatment for liver cancer. The doctor develops a treatment plan on an individual basis. If the tumour is resectable, then preparation for serious surgical intervention begins. Removal of liver metastases is an effective method of treatment. The liver regenerates and the removed part is gradually restored. After the surgery, the doctor administers chemotherapy to destroy the remaining abnormal cells. Radiotherapy can be used in combination with surgery or chemotherapy.
