Liver Cancer<\/h3>\n

Liver cancer can occur anywhere in the liver. The most common type of liver cancer is the one that spreads to the liver from other distant sites such as the colon, lung or breast and is known as metastatic liver cancer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Liver cancer that arises in the liver first is called hepatocellular carcinoma<\/em> and it commonly occurs in people suffering from cirrhosis of the liver. Primary Liver cancers can also develop within the bile ducts of the liver, and these are called cholangiocarcinoma.<\/em><\/p>\n

Surveillance of patients with cirrhosis is important to detect early primary liver cancers. Patients being treated for cancers of the bowel, breast, lung should be carefully followed up regularly to diagnose early metastatic liver cancers.<\/p>\n

Pancreatic Cancer<\/h2>\n

The pancreas is an organ in the back of the top part of your tummy. It helps you digest your food and makes hormones, such as insulin. Pancreatic cancer is generally a very aggressive type of cancer that can occur anywhere in the pancreas.<\/p>\n

The risk factors are old age, chronic smoking, family history, chronic pancreatitis and can also occur in the young and healthy without any known risk factors.<\/p>\n

Pancreatic cancers are notoriously asymptomatic, and patients can present with non-specific symptoms such as vague abdominal pain, indigestion, loose stools, weight loss, lack of appetite, jaundice, itching and onset of diabetes.<\/p>\n

Pancreatic cancer is considered one of the most difficult cancers to detect and is often diagnosed in its later stages. Successful treatment of pancreatic cancer depends on early diagnosis, where it is in the pancreas, how big it is, if it has spread, and your general health.<\/p>\n
