Question

What is the difference between liver cirrhosis and liver cancer?

Answer 1

Chronic hepatitis can be caused by the hepatitis C and hepatitis B viruses. These viruses are spread by contact with infected body fluids. The best way to avoid hepatitis B and C is to avoid intravenous drug abuse and unsafe sex.

And then there’s alcohol: A good percentage of alcoholics will eventually develop cirrhosis. The amount of alcohol you need to drink to cause cirrhosis varies from person to person. If you are a woman, drinking two to three drinks a day over several years puts you at risk. For a man, three to four drinks a day puts you at risk for cirrhosis.

Many of the symptoms of cirrhosis are also the first symptoms of liver cancer. The most common symptoms of liver cancer and cirrhosis include:

Fatigue
Right-side abdominal pain
Loss of appetite and nausea
Weight loss
Yellow discoloration of the eyes and the skin
Fluid collection in the legs and abdomen
Increased bruising and bleeding
Decrease in mental function

Answer:

Cirrhosis is a disease in which liver cells become damaged and are replaced by scar tissue. People with cirrhosis have an increased risk of liver cancer. Most (but not all) people who develop liver cancer already have some evidence of cirrhosis. There are several possible causes of cirrhosis.
