Liver Cyst, Cancer and Tumour Care

Liver cysts, cancer, and tumours are medical conditions that affect the liver, a vital organ in the body responsible for processing nutrients, filtering toxins, and producing bile. A liver cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on the liver. Most liver cysts are benign and do not cause any symptoms. However, in some cases, they can grow large and cause pain, discomfort, and other complications.
Liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma, is a type of cancer that develops in the liver cells. It can be caused by various factors, including chronic hepatitis B or C infection, excessive alcohol consumption, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Liver cancer can be difficult to detect in its early stages and can spread quickly to other parts of the body. Liver tumours are abnormal growths that develop in the liver. They can be either benign or malignant, with malignant tumours being more serious and potentially life-threatening. Symptoms of liver tumours may include abdominal pain, weight loss, and jaundice.
