To date, no single doctor can be sure what causes a person suffering from cancer. Some experts think could only find or figure out the risk factors that are likely to cause a person suffering from cancer.
Anything that increases the likelihood of someone suffering from cancer is called a risk factor, whereas something that decreases the chances of cancer are called protective factors. Several risk factors for cancer could be avoided, but many others can not be avoided altogether.
One risk factor that can be avoided such as smoking while that can not be avoided such as genetic or hereditary factors. Both these factors are the same as a risk factor for cancer but only the cigarette habit that can be avoided.

Prevention of cancer here is an action that seeks to avoid anything that becomes a risk factor for cancer and increase protective factors to prevent cancer.
Although some risk factors can be avoided does not mean you will be one hundred percent free of cancer. Instead of people whose lives are full of cancer risk factors is unlikely they will eventually have cancer. Every individual has a different sensitivity to the uniqueness or difference against the cancer. Therefore there is a good idea to always consult a doctor to get the right information to prevent cancer.
The main principle is the prevention of liver cancer by doing a liver cancer screening as early as possible. Fit and proper information on how to conduct screening and other information you can easily get at your family doctor.
Liver cancer or hepatocellular cancer is often called is a cancer that grows and develops in the cells or liver tissue. Cancer is not a result of metastasis of cancer that occurs in other organs.

Several risk factor for hepatocellular cancer or liver cancer are:
Sex. Men are more susceptible to liver cancer when compared with women. This increase is attributable to genetic factors.
Hepatitis or liver inflammation. Chronic Hepatitis B and C is the most important risk factor for the occurrence of liver cancer. The risk increases when a person has both hepatitis simultaneously.
Liver Cirrhosis. People with liver cirrhosis with liver cancer has a chance greater than those who did not.
Metabolic disorders. Several metabolic disorders can increase the risk of liver cancer such as disorders that cause a buildup of iron in the liver (hemochromatosis).
Early examination or a routine liver cancer screening conducted among others by Ultra Sono grafi examination or abdominal ultrasound, CT scan and blood tests.
Until now, the right treatment for liver cancer is still rare in Indonesia, a lot is to do with the liver transplant and it can only be done abroad with expensive fees.
In conclusion, if you do have risk factors as I mentioned above, it helps you get to the doctor to screen for liver cancer. Spare your heart.
