Liver Cancer
The liver is an important organ that includes gall bladder and gallbladder ducts. It is the second largest organ in a blood-rich, wedge-shaped body, located right beneath the right rib, beneath the lungs. Our hearts are shaped like wedges or pyramids and are divided into two parts – left and right.
The main function of the liver is to filter and process blood from toxic substances, producing bile fluids (to help fat digestion); helps synthesis of blood proteins, glucose and cholesterol; helps metabolism (medicine, vitamins, alcohol, hemoglobin); as storage store (for fat soluble vitamins, iron and glycogen); removal agent (eliminating dead blood cells and metabolic waste) and improving immune system.
How can liver cancer occur?
Liver cancer is divided into two types: primary and secondary. Primary liver cancer means cancer begins in the liver. Secondary liver cancer means cancer cells come from other organs and spread to the liver.
Many factors can contribute to the disease but the main cause is the chronic hepatitis B virus infection that causes cirrhosis (liver cell death that eventually forms scar) and turns into cancer if not treated.
Hepatitis B infection is most reported in Asia and is considered an epidemic, especially in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and China. Most patients aged 30 years and over because hepatitis B virus takes a long time to damage the liver and usually this break occur quickly. But the efficacy of treatment is still low as most patients only come to hospital when their illness is severe.
Apart from this cause, many risk factors can expose a person to the disease, among others:
1) Hepatitis C infection with the presence of liver cirrhosis
2) Cirrhosis that spreads to liver function
3) Excessive alcohol consumption (can stimulate existing liver damage)
4) Obesity
5) Diabetes
6) Smoking
7) The use of steroids in the long run
8) Fungal infections (long-term exposure to aflatoxin is a fungus produced toxin)
