What Is Liver Cancer? Key Medical Insights

Liver cancer occurs when malignant cells form in the tissues of the liver. It can be primary (originating in the liver) or secondary (spreading from other organs).

Common Symptoms of Liver Cancer Include:

• Persistent pain in the upper abdomen

• Sudden weight loss

• Fatigue and weakness

• Loss of appetite

• Nausea and vomiting

• Jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin)

• Swelling in the abdomen

Stage 2 liver cancer means the tumor is larger and may have started to spread to nearby blood vessels, but has not yet reached distant organs.

How Dangerous Is Stage 2 Liver Cancer?

Stage 2 is considered a moderately advanced stage. Early diagnosis increases the chance of effective treatment. Options may include:

• Surgery (liver resection)

• Radiation therapy

• Chemotherapy

• Targeted therapy

• Liver transplant (in selected cases)

Prognosis depends on several factors like tumor size, patient’s overall health, and response to treatment.
