1. Liver -- Cancers
   Tumours of the Liver may be innocent or malignant. The most important of the former is the [G]umm y of tertiary syphilis; this may steadily and completely disappear under the influence of iodide of potassium. The commonest form of malignant tumour is the result of the growth of cancerous elements which have been brought to the liver by the veins coming up from a primary focus of the large intestine. Active surgical treatment of such a tumour is out of the question. Fortunately it is, as a rule, painless.
2. Liver -- Liver Cancers
   Treatments for primary liver cancer depend on the extent (stage) of the disease as well as your age, overall health, feelings and personal preferences. Discuss all of your options carefully with your treatment team. Choosing a treatment plan is a major decision, and it's important to take time to weigh your choices.
3. Liver
   Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Approximately 500,000 cases of liver cancer are diagnosed each year and it is the third cause of cancer-related deaths. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer, occurs more often in males than females and is most common in people over 50 years of age. The reported prognosis for advanced liver cancer is poor with most patients dying within a year regardless of the treatment they receive. Liver cancer represents a significant unmet medical need.
4. Liver -- Liver Tumors
   Liver resection is the gold standard treatment for most patients with primary and metastatic hepatic tumors. In the past this used to be a formidable surgical procedure with high post-operative morbidity and mortality. However, increased knowledge of liver segmental anatomy combined with technological advances and improved anesthesia/critical care have markedly decreased the risk and made this a potentially curative option for many patients.
5. Liver -- Liver Diseases
   Liver disease: Liver disease refers to any disorder of the liver. The liver is a large organ in the upper right abdomen that aids in digestion and removes waste products from the blood.
6. Liver -- Liver Disease
   Liver damage from cirrhosis cannot be reversed, but treatment can stop or delay further progression and reduce complications. Treatment depends on the cause of cirrhosis and any complications a person is experiencing. For example, cirrhosis caused by alcohol abuse is treated by abstaining from alcohol. Treatment for hepatitis-related cirrhosis involves medications used to treat the different types of hepatitis, such as interferon for viral hepatitis and corticosteroids for autoimmune hepatitis. Cirrhosis caused by Wilson disease, in which copper builds up in organs, is treated with medications to remove the copper. These are just a few examples—treatment for cirrhosis resulting from other diseases depends on the underlying cause.
7. Liver -- Fatty Liver
   Fatty Liver: "Fatty liver" is a common condition in people who drink too much alcohol. The liver becomes enlarged by the accumulation of fat cells. Usually, the only symptom presented is a slight discomfort within the abdomen. The condition normally improves if the person in question ceases drinkingalcohol.
8. Liver -- Liver Center
   "I was very pleased to read this report about the decline in acute hepatitis infections," said Dr. James Boyer, Chair of the Board of the American Liver Foundation and Director of the Liver Center at the Yale University Medical School. "But this good news must not let us forget the millions of Americans suffering with chronic hepatitis. Without diagnosis and treatment these people are in serious risk of developing cirrhosis and liver cancer. Much more work needs to be done to combat hepatitis in this country."
9. Liver -- Diseases
   Several breeds of dogs are prone to a genetic disease caused by accumulation of copper in the liver. Breeds most often affected include the Bedlington, West Highland, Kerry Blue and Skye Terriers, Doberman Pinscher, Cocker Spaniel, Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd Dog, Miniature Schnauzer, Bulldog and Pekingese. Although the disease is not believed to be commonplace in Dalmatians, several cases have been reported. Copper is found in all foods then absorbed by the intestines, stored in the liver and excreted through the bile system. Affected dogs genetically have the inability to eliminate copper from the liver.
