Why is Liver Cancer so Deadly?

What makes liver cancer deadly?

Liver cancer can prove to be fatal as it is very dangerous. Even after successful treatment, it is seen that patients suffer again from the same and only 15% to 20% of all treatments prove to be effective. In 50% to 80% of cases, there is liver cirrhosis along with liver cancer which makes it even tougher to treat it. People with liver cirrhosis have very few treatment options to treat liver cancer.

Liver cancer is most common in patients with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Chronic active infection of these viruses can give rise to cirrhosis which may lead to liver cancer.

Unlike other cancer treatments liver cancer treatments are not advanced yet. This creates challenges in the surgery & recovery of the patients. Liver cancer is so deadly:

Damage of liver even before surgery
Complications during surgery
Highly expensive treatment that makes it unaffordable for patients

All these factors result in a low success rate of liver cancer treatment.
