Overview
Liver cancer often develops silently in people with underlying liver disease. The most common type, hepatocellular carcinoma, develops in patients with cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B or C, or advanced fatty liver disease. Catching it early is critical — and that means regular screening for at-risk patients.
Common symptoms
- Often no symptoms in early stages
- Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite
- Discomfort or pain in the upper right abdomen
- Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)
- Swelling in the abdomen or worsening fatigue
When to see a doctor
If you have cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B or C, or advanced fatty liver disease, regular screening every 6 months is essential — even when you feel well. Any new symptoms in someone with known liver disease need prompt evaluation.
How we help
We provide structured surveillance for at-risk patients with ultrasound and blood tests every six months. If a suspicious lesion is found, we coordinate further imaging and biopsy when needed, then guide you to the right treatment pathway — early detection makes effective treatment possible.
