It’s a common misconception that liver cancer is rare. It’s not. It’s a serious condition that can and does strike. The good news is that there is an answer. The very best answer is “get tested.
Although liver cancer is a rare disease, it is very treatable, and the best and most proven treatment is a liver scan. You can get a liver scan at a hospital that specializes in these tests, or you can visit your doctor. Either way, you’ll be given a blood test that will tell you a number of things about your liver, including the number of cancerous nodules.
Now, I’m not going to give you the numbers here, but I will tell you that the numbers you’ll see in a liver scan will tell you the severity of the nodules in your liver. Now, if you have a large number of these nodules, the likelihood is that they’re all cancerous. Those nodules can be detected by a contrast-enhanced liver scan.
So how big are the nodules? Well, theyre tiny and theyre usually about the size of a pinhead. At the most extreme, the nodules can be up to the size of a large grain of sand. To put this into perspective, this is roughly the size of the tip of a ping pong ball. So, once youve finished reading this, let me just say that it might be a good idea to take your liver test and send it in to your doctor.
The nodules you see on this guy’s liver are actually cysts. The nodules are caused by biliary obstruction and theyre in and out of the liver constantly. The nodules you see are actually the cause of his biliary obstruction.
At this point, if you happen to be reading this on a machine, we can just go ahead and send him a bill to the Liver Cancer Foundation. (I’m not sure if he has his own charity, but we can figure that part out.
Liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and there are only a few treatments that can actually save your life, like chemotherapy. The first treatment is surgery, and the best of these is liver transplant. Liver cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and only a few treatments are really effective. The two best of these are liver transplants and liver cancer. For liver cancer, the two best treatments are liver cancer surgery and chemo.
If your liver is cancer, there are at least three possible treatments that can cure you. Those treatments are liver transplant, chemo/chemotherapy, and surgery. By using liver cancer as a metaphor for the disease and its treatments, you can say that it has a three-tier structure: first, the treatment that works, second, the treatments that don’t work, and third, the treatments that don’t cure liver cancer at all.
There is one more tier of treatment, “pain management,” which is the third tier of treatment. In a third tier of treatment is the worst of all three treatments, liver cancer surgery.
Liver cancer is a disease that affects the liver. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the two main treatments it gets from the medical community. The third tier of treatment is pain management which is the second tier of the treatment. Surgery is the third tier of treatment.
