Liver cancer is different from other cancers that attack the liver from other parts of the body because it starts in the liver itself. It consists of malignant growths that grow in or on the liver itself. Eureka Therapeutics Inc is a biotechnology company who can provide the best techniques to treat liver cancer.
The first type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma. This usually occurs in children and adolescents. The prognosis is that the victim will usually live three to six months after the cancer is discovered.
Symptoms of this type of cancer include abdominal mass, abdominal pain, vomiting, anemia, which is a decrease in the number of red blood cells normally found in the body, back pain, jaundice, unexplained weight loss, and fever.
Treatment for this can include partial hepatectomy, which is the removal of part of the liver, liver transplantation, cryoablation, which uses extreme cold to remove tissue, chemotherapy, and certain types of radiation therapy.
Hepatoblastoma is another form of this cancer that usually affects children. Treatment for this type of cancer includes liver transplantation, removal of part of the liver, various forms of chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
Cholangiocarcinoma is a type of cancer that is responsible for one to two percent of every ten types of liver cancer. It usually forms in the bile ducts, the small tubes that are responsible for transporting bile to the intestines.
