Screen for hepatocellular carcinoma - People with cirrhosis should have tests to detect hepatocellular carcinoma (cancer of the liver). Testing usually requires an ultrasound examination of the liver every six months.
Also called hepatocellular carcinoma, this is the most common form of primary liver cancer. Chronic infection with hepatitis B and C increases the risk of developing this type of cancer.
Liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) is a cancer arising from the liver. It is also known as primary liver cancer or hepatoma. The liver is made up of different cell types (for example, bile ducts, blood vessels, and fat-storing cells).

Liver cancer is also known as hepatoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. Because the liver is made up of mostly hepatocytes, or liver cells, most liver cancers originate from the liver cells.
Complications associated with chronic hepatitis include bleeding, liver failure, brain injury (hepatic encephalopathy), inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), liver scarring (cirrhosis), liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), ...
It is sometimes called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This type of cancer originates from a liver cell (hepatocyte) which becomes cancerous. (The bulk of the liver is made up from hepatocytes).

There are also reports of primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) occurring in patients with NASH-related cirrhosis. Indeed, the incidence of HCC in NASH cirrhosis appears to be similar to that observed in HCV cirrhosis (1-2% per year).
This type of cancer is called hepatocellular carcinoma or malignant hepatoma. When liver cancer metastasizes outside the liver, the cancer cells tend to spread to nearby lymph nodes and to the bones and lungs.

Primary liver cancer can arise from the liver cells themselves (hepatocellular carcinoma) or from the system of tubes that drains the bile from the liver (cholangiocarcinoma, gall bladder cancer).
The information here is about the more common type of primary liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or hepatoma. We also have information about:
Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) ...
Children who are exposed to hepatitis B infection at an early age, or those who have biliary atresia, are also at increased risk for developing hepatocellular carcinoma.
The risk for liver disease in adults is increased, as is the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). Some children with alpha-1 antitrypsin develop liver disease as well.
A third of untreated patients with hemochromatosis develop hepatocellular carcinoma.
The pigment seen in hemochromatosis does not appear to be predominantly caused by iron, as the development of vitiligo causes a complete loss of pigment.
Steatohepatitis can lead to cirrhosis (fibrosis, scarring and hardening of the liver). There is also an association with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).
Fatty Liver Causes ...
20-30% of people with chronic infection develop cirrhosis within 15-30 years. For those with cirrhosis due to hepatitis C there is a 1-2% annual risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma.
