    FAQs

    What are the common symptoms of liver cancer and pancreas cancer?

     Common symptoms of liver cancer include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), abdominal pain or swelling, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, and easy bruising or bleeding.

    Symptoms of pancreatic cancer can include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), abdominal or back pain, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, and nausea.

    What are the main risk factors for developing liver cancer?

    The main risk factors for liver cancer include chronic infection with hepatitis B or C, cirrhosis (often due to alcohol abuse or fatty liver disease), obesity, diabetes, and exposure to aflatoxins (toxins produced by certain molds found in food).

    What are the main risk factors for pancreatic cancer?

    Risk factors include smoking, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, family history of pancreatic cancer, and certain genetic mutations.

    What is the relationship between fatty liver disease and liver cancer?

    Fatty liver disease, particularly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), can increase the risk of developing liver cancer. 

    1. Progression to Cirrhosis: Fatty liver disease can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which involves liver inflammation and damage. Over time, NASH can lead to cirrhosis, a condition where the liver becomes severely scarred. Cirrhosis is a significant risk factor for liver cancer.

    2. Chronic Inflammation: The chronic inflammation associated with fatty liver disease can cause liver cells to mutate and become cancerous. This inflammation creates an environment conducive to the development of liver cancer.

    3. Metabolic Syndrome: Fatty liver disease is often associated with metabolic syndrome, which includes conditions like obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol. These conditions are also risk factors for liver cancer

    Can I get gallstones again after gallbladder removal surgery?

    Yes, it is possible. Even after removal of the gall bladder, stones called recurrent bile duct stones may develop within the bile duct. This is a complication of gall bladder removal which may happen typically within 3 years after the surgery to remove the gallbladder.
