liver cancer

   







First: What is liver cancer?


-: Liver cancer is the growth of random and irregular cells of the liver HepatoCytes. One of the most dangerous types of cancers found in this century, because of the difficulty in treating late stage cancer and also because Ahtmalith great to get back Cancer Recurrence

Sound affects the liver and available treatment options remain limited for advanced cases of it 


Liver cancer is the third leading cause of death due to cancer in the world, the sixth most common cancer types. Although the overall percentage for the emergence of cases and deaths are decreasing in the United States, but is increasing in the rest of the world. And reach the current ratio for a period of stay up to 5 years for liver cancer types of non-eradication: 8.6% Europe, 11% America, 10% Asia. 


Cancers 
Confirms Professor Dr Yasser Abdel-Kader, a professor of Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University Member of the European Society of tumors, in his speech at the «new horizons for the treatment of liver tumors», which was held a week ago in Cairo, organized by the Egyptian Foundation for Cancer Research and the World Federation for the study of the liver, liver cancer is one of the major health problems facing the health services in Egypt. 


And that it represents about 2.5% of all tumors registered in the National Cancer Institute, according to Statistics in the period from 1990 to 1997 (although there is no accurate statistical program cancerous), which is closer than in the world. And liver cancer is more common in males than in females by 5 to 1, and the average age in the incidence of liver cancer 30 years in high-risk places (China and Japan) and about 56 years west of the world and 53 years in Egypt. 


He adds that 10% of liver cancer occur in livers of sound, and it differs from the rest of the other species in relation to early detection and surveying the mass of the target population that is not in-common in the sense that they target a specific group (with acute viral B and C). 


And the size of the problem, he pointed out that 30% of cases of liver cancer came in the early stages, 50% is in the advanced stages, and 20% comes in the later stages. 


Symptoms and risk factors 
Liver cancer symptoms include: weight loss (for no apparent reason and without trying to lose weight), the continuing loss of appetite, feeling of fullness after eating a simple, no solid mass in the right side of the abdomen below the ribs, the pain on the right shoulder bone plate, the appearance of greenish-yellow color on the skin and eyes (jaundice yellow), a sense of discomfort on the right side of the abdomen, nausea and fatigue are unusual. 


The risk factors include the following: 


* Chronic inflammation as a result of infection with hepatitis «b» and / or «C» with the presence of cirrhosis of the liver. 


* Cystic (which means the destruction of the natural structure of the liver and then re-DO in the form of nodal clusters, due to fibrosis caused by many conditions such as chronic alcoholism). 


* Obesity (such as deposition of fat in the liver and hepatitis Allakholi Allakholi resulting from fat). 


* Diabetes mellitus 


* The length of duration of exposure to natural toxins (such as that produced by many types of fungi that may be found in nuts, Sudanese and other types of oil seeds) 


* Tobacco 


* The length of the use of steroids stimulants. In some places of the world where there is water contaminated with arsenic 


* Treatment Options 


Treatment options for liver cancer 
They depend on the stage of the disease, and liver function, and the general situation of the patient. The surgery only hope for the treatment of patients with liver cancer cells. If the cancer is detected at an early stage and the rest of the liver was intact, can surgery (with a liver transplant or without) to become an answer. However, percentage of cases, the eradication of viable only 15%. There are four types of treatments used in the customary treatment of liver cancer are: surgery, radiation therapy, treatment with cancer drugs, and injecting ethanol through the skin. 


Types of surgery include the following: 
Cryo-surgery or cryotherapy, in which a special tool used to freeze and destroy cancer cells. 


Remove a portion of the liver: And where are the eradication of the cancer patient in the liver 


Eradication of all liver and liver transplant from a donor sound new eradication by the sound frequencies and is used by the sensor electrode to target cancer cells and kill 


Radiation therapy using high-energy X-ray, or any other types of radiation and include the following: 


         External radiation: is given by the radiation is guided to the area of cancer cells. 


         Internal radiation: This is a place to target the radiation to the cancer by injection or catheter. 


Using an antibody loaded with radioactive: it is loaded and antibodies that target cancer cells and then injected with radioactive material in the body. 


Chemotherapy, localized or generalized and can be given orally or by injection. 


And injecting a chemical directly into a vein nourishing the tumor to make a stroke, chemical, and are at the same time injection of Ciltp another within the nutrient artery of the liver in the tumor. 


Injection of ethanol directly into the tumor to kill cancer cells Bastiiihaddam needle minutes. 


New research shows the efficiency of targeted therapy in patients with cancer of the liver cells have recently been the approval of the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of cancer of the liver cells, taken by mouth and discouraging for many Elkinizzat, and is the only one who showed a clear improvement in the survival.

Secondly: What are the causes of liver cancer?


-: Viral causes
1 - hepatitis virus (b) and (c) Hepatitis B & C Virus
Result of not treating the disease for a long period ranging from 15 to 20 years, cancer cells start to emerge and spread. In short we can say that complications from the virus and B-C.


2 - cirrhosis of the liver Liver Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis of the liver and of course no doubt of the main causes of cancer pronation. Which are the result of large-fiber and fiber-forming cells Fibrosis & FibroBlasts It causes cirrhosis of the liver


A: Fatty Liver: fatty liver
This situation is the case of cirrhosis of the liver was not linked with alcohols Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis
And often occur in patients with diabetes, protein ingestion is not good, obesity, coronary artery narrowing (due to smoking) and treatment of some types of hormones.








B: alcohol: the chief cause No. 1 in the world to cirrhosis of the liver and then cancer


C: Of course, B and C virus causes of cirrhosis of the liver


D: The first of the channel cystic bile Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
Coupled with this, a remarkable rise in the enzyme alkaline phosphatase Alkaline Phosphatase and also a rise in cholesterol levels Cholesterol and yellow BiliRubin
This disease is more prevalent in women than in men


E: immune hepatitis autoimmune Hepatitis
This occurs as a result of the disease an immune disorder that leads to inflammation of the liver cells and even destroy them. Coupled with the high level in the blood Algeloubeyoln Globulin


F: genetic causes: cirrhosis of the liver may be genetically


G: Tobacco smoking


H: Drug


I: Myocardial fibrosis Cardiac Cirrhosis


J: a bug in the process of glucose metabolism GalactoSemia


K: glycogen storage disease (Type IV) Amylopectinosis
: This is a hereditary disease and occurs due to lack of a particular enzyme is very important to form glucose (not Hcol name for simplification), leading to excess storage on the very limit of starch Animal Glycogen.


L: some genetic diseases such as Cystic Firbosis: a rare disease and will not talk about it, but enough to know it infects the lung, pancreas, liver and cause premature death.


3: Some carcinogens CarcinoGenic Substances
Such as formalin fried potatoes .. ready ... eating bread fried on the fire more than once ... etc.




Just this part and next week, God willing, I will issue the second part where we talk about
How does cancer? What are the types? And how to diagnosis and treatment
