Most patients with liver cancer have risk factors or have a disease of the liver that causes inflammation and
scarring (cirrhosis)
Liver cancer presents a challenge because most have no symptoms when the disease is starting and in its early
stages. Therefore, it is important to have regular screening if you have any of the risk factors.
Treatment in the early stages provides the best chance of cure, especially with liver cancer surgery. When tumours have
become bigger and more advanced, liver cancer can obstruct the bile ducts and symptoms may start appearing.
