Starting from which 3 types of liver cancer exist, causes of primary liver cancer and hepatitis b and c prevention.   We explain all curative liver cancer treatment options and when they are used: resection, liver transplantation, PEI, RF, cryoablation, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and chemoembolisation.   Liver Cancer   There are 3 very different kind of liver cancers to consider:   1. Metastatic liver cancer     (father’s metastatic liver cancers like raisins in a raisin bread)   Also called secondary liver cancer is a cancer that started in another organ (colon, pancreas, stomach, lung or breast) and is now growing in the liver as well.   A cancer that started in the liver therefore is called ...

Another milestone has recently been reached, this time with liver cancer - a genetic signature has been identified that predicted whether a liver tumor is likely to occur. A signature made of 186 genes were found by an international team of scientists by probing the gene expression of 6,000 human genes. Correlating the gene expression of some 6,000 human genes with the recurrence at least two years after surgery, and also survival, led to a list of 186 genes as the probable signature for liver cancer recurrence. The team still have to validate the...

Liver cancer is the most common cancer in the world. It is also the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. You might enjoy the stories of cancer survivors, but reality is bitter. The prognosis for HCC is never good with a liver cancer survival rate of less than a year. It may be impossible to prevent metastatic liver cancer, but there are possibilities of reducing the risks of getting primary liver cancer… or so says the medical world:   Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and getting the Hepatitis B vaccine is the most effective way of preventing liver cancer   There are 2 parties involved in maintaining a healthy lifestyle:   your per...

It can also occur, rarely, in patients with normal liver parenchyma. Grossly, HCC can undergo hemorrhage and necrosis because of a lack of fibrous stroma. Vascular invasion, particularly of the portal system, is common. This is a known case of HCC with raised alphfetoprotein with MRI showing inferior vena cava and right atrial thrombus.Dr.Sumer K Sethi, MDConsultant Radiologist ,VIMHANS and CEO-Teleradiology Providers Editor-in-chief, The Internet Journal of Radiology Director, DAMS (Delhi Academy of Medical SciencesFrom Sumer's Radiology Site http://www.sumerdoc.blogspot.com -The Top Radiology Magazine (Source: Sumer's Radiology...

Glen’s Liver Cancer story Thank you for sharing your story. My mom, aged 71, has been diagnosed as having HHC (Hepatocellular Carcinoma) in April 08. Her MRI indicated multiple Metastasis in her liver (innumerable large and small tumors). Sounds like father’s diagnosis: lots of words we heard for the first time and when we saw the picture of his liver it became all clear to us: innumerable small tumors scattered in his liver… Her blood tests indicated elevated Alpha Fetoprotein, and her history of chronic Hepatitis added to the diagnosis of liver tumor. The liver tumor involves both lobes (which makes it not curable by resection,...

The said patients are being recruited by Moffitt for the phase II study of the oral medication AZD6244 — an experimental anti-cancer drug that may stop the growth of cancer cells and is designed to block the pathway of a protein called MEK (important for cell survival). According to Dr. Chris R. Garrett, principal investigator with Moffitt’s Gastrointestinal Oncology program: “There’s no cure for advanced liver cancer that’s not amenable to surgery. We’re looking for a novel therapy to improve the outcome for patients with the disea...

Features include capsule formation, presence of fat, suppressed on out of phase GRE images, no definite portal venous or hepatic venous invasion, No MR demonstrable calcification or biliary dilatation.Color doppler showed plenty of vascularity with increased diastolic flow.More common in males (7 to 8 times) more in 30-60 yrs. Contrast study would show increased early arterial enhancement, No significant contrast on equilibrium stage or hepatobiliary phase (1 hour) because hepatocytes are unable to excrete gadolinium in to bile and show it. Another feature would be peripheral washout in portal venous pahse. Pseudocapsule can enhance in portal v...
