Hepatic Tumors
Hepatic tumors are abnormal growths that occur in the liver, which is a vital organ responsible for various functions, including detoxification and metabolism. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Common types of hepatic tumors include hepatocellular carcinoma, which is the most prevalent form of liver cancer, and hemangiomas, which are usually harmless.
Diagnosis of hepatic tumors often involves imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI. Treatment options vary based on the type and stage of the tumor and may include surgery, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies. Early detection is crucial for improving outcomes.
