    Liver cancer: what is it?

    The liver, our largest internal organ, plays a key role in many vital functions. By producing digestive enzymes and bile, the liver facilitates the digestion of fats. It also synthesizes proteins essential for blood clotting and plays a vital role in removing toxic substances from the blood.

    By producing digestive enzymes and bile, the liver facilitates the breakdown of food. It also synthesizes proteins essential for blood clotting and plays a vital role in removing toxic substances from the blood.

    However, liver cells can sometimes change and form tumors. These can be benign, such as hemangiomas, or malignant, such as hepatocellular carcinoma. The latter, the most common primary liver cancer, develops from the liver cells themselves.

    Cancer can also develop in the bile ducts of the liver, resulting in cholangiocarcinoma. It's important to note that the liver can also be affected by metastasis, which is the spread of cancer that started in another organ. Each type of liver cancer requires specific treatment.

    Liver cancer warning signs

    The early stages of liver cancer are often asymptomatic. As the tumor grows, it may compress organs or block bile ducts, causing a variety of symptoms. These may include:

    These symptoms may also be associated with other liver diseases. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

    Diagnosis of liver tumors: a process explained

    Diagnosing liver tumors is a process that requires several steps to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the best treatment.
    The first steps

    If symptoms or routine test results suggest a liver problem, your doctor will do a thorough clinical exam. This will include:

    If these initial findings indicate possible liver damage, further tests will be ordered to confirm or rule out the diagnosis.

    Additional tests

    Several tests may be done:

    Why so many tests?

    Diagnosing liver cancer can seem complex and time-consuming. However, each test provides additional information and helps refine the diagnosis. It's also important to rule out other possible causes of symptoms before making a cancer diagnosis.

    In Turkey, your doctor and healthcare team will be with you every step of the way. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Early diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment and a better chance of recovery.

    Liver cancer staging

    Liver cancer is divided into five stages, from stage 0 (very early) to stage D (advanced). Each stage represents a different extent of disease and a different prognosis.

    Despite treatment, the cancer may come back: this is called a recurrence. It may be local (in the same place),regional (nearby),or distant (in another part of the body).

    If you have questions about the staging of your liver cancer, talk to your healthcare provider. He or she will be able to explain the meaning of your stage and help you understand the different treatment options.

    Liver cancer treatments in Turkey

    The choice of treatment for liver cancer depends on many factors, including the stage of the disease, the size and location of the tumors, overall liver function, and the patient's overall health. Several treatment approaches are possible:

    Surgery

    Surgery for liver cancer in Turkey includes:

    Systemic therapies

    Systemic therapies for liver cancer include

    Symptomatic treatment

    In addition to these curative or palliative treatments, symptomatic therapies may be offered to relieve pain, fatigue, nausea, and other symptoms associated with the disease or treatment.

    Treatment of liver cancer in Turkey is an individualized process that requires multidisciplinary care. The most appropriate treatment is chosen in collaboration with a specialized medical team, taking into account the specific characteristics of each patient.

    Risks & side effects of surgery for liver cancer

    As with any major surgical procedure, liver surgery can cause complications, including:

    Because of the complexity of the organ and the risks involved, only surgical teams experienced in liver surgery can perform this type of surgery.
