Liver Cancer
SYMPTOMS. Watch for a mass in the upper right quarter of the abdomen, weight
loss, abdominal pain and possibly a later sign of jaundice (skin yellowing).
CAUSES are unknown at this time. It is rare that the cancer originates in
the liver in the United States. It is common for it to originate in the liver
in the Orient and Africa. About half of the liver cancer cases in the United
States are associated with cirrhosis of the liver. Cancer may spread to the
liver from elsewhere in the body such as pancreas or breast.
TREATMENT. Consult your doctor.
