First and foremost: every liver cancer is different and you need to listen to your doctor what he says about liver cancer prognosis. Do you any reason to be alarmed? Yes you do: 3 people out of 4 in the US diagnosed with liver cancer will die because of their cancer…
The "good news" is that only 2% of all cancers in the US are liver cancers. The bad news is that in Asia and Africa: liver cancer is amongst the most common cancers. All I have to add to that is that when pesticides are banned in US and Europe, they are transported in mass to Africa and Asia. If on CNN you hear that China is still using Malachite Green which is banned in US, it is because US is transporting it to China! (Read more on how US criticizes China’s food market)
It seems that men are slightly more affected than women when it comes to having liver cancer (yet how accurate are statistics when one says: it seems…). On the other hand: cancer is about cells, men and women differ because of hormones,
and hormones also have a lot to say when it comes to multiplying cells. But one could probably also say: men tend to drink more beer, therefore their liver is weaker than the liver of women…
Although cancer is so well spread, we really don’t know much about it and I hate this guessing game 🙁
i was diagnised with kidney cancer last year in the month of march in a routine master check up and got the right kidney removed. it was a localised one and the biopsy has shown iit as a grade 2 rcc. after a year now when i went for a routine scanning it was found that in the liver there is a focal lesion [hyprechoic] with a sixe of 1.8 cm. one doctor felt that it would be a haemangioma but the other one wants to check whether it is a metastic one. they want me to do a mri scan with contrast. but unfortunately i have little higher creatinine level which suggests that after this contrast test, the functioning of the kidney might get affected further.
i want to knowwhether it is a metastic one , how much is the chance of it being as a liver cancer , what are the chances that it might affect my health. how can it be cured what are the percentage chances. how long it takes to cure. kindly reply to my queries to my ID.
