Liver Tumors:

Causes and Symptoms Liver tumors can be categorized into two groups: benign tumors that do not spread and malignant tumors, which are cancerous. While the exact causes of liver tumors are often unclear, hormonal influences, such as the use of contraceptive pills, may play a role in the development of benign tumors. Similarly, the precise causes of cancerous liver tumors are not well understood, but certain risk factors have been identified.

Potential contributing factors for liver cancer include alcohol consumption, pre-existing hepatitis infections, consumption of carcinogenic foods, or infections by certain parasites that cause chronic inflammation of the bile ducts, eventually leading to cancer.

In the early stages, benign liver tumors usually do not exhibit significant symptoms. However, as they grow larger, they can cause discomfort or, if they press against the bile ducts, jaundice may develop.

Cancer symptoms

Can be broadly divided into two main groups. The first group is related to alcohol consumption, leading to cirrhosis and subsequently cancer. The main symptoms in this group include palpable lumps or discomfort from large tumors, which might be detected during a check-up. The second group is related to the consumption of carcinogenic foods, with early symptoms being non-specific, such as loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss. In some cases, large but non-cancerous vascular tumors can compress the stomach, bile ducts, or nearby organs, causing discomfort, breathing difficulties, and problems with eating or sleeping.

Treatment for Liver Tumors At Princ Hospital Lamphun, our team employs advanced imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) scans, to accurately diagnose and determine the nature of liver tumors, distinguishing between benign and malignant growths.

For benign tumors, our specialists carefully assess the potential for future malignancy and may recommend surgical removal if necessary. If surgery is not indicated, we implement a comprehensive monitoring plan to closely track the tumor's progression.

For malignant tumors, our multidisciplinary team evaluates the feasibility of surgical intervention, often involving a biopsy. However, if the tumor appears cancerous, our surgeons may recommend proceeding directly with surgery to prevent the risk of cancer spreading within the abdomen.
