Causes of Cancer

Liver cancer occurs when cells in the liver undergo changes (mutations) so that these cells grow abnormally and form tumors.


It is not yet known what causes the liver cells to mutate. However, several conditions can support the occurrence of these mutations. That is, people with these conditions will be more at risk of developing liver cancer:


Prolonged hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection

Cirrhosis or scar tissue that forms in the liver

Fatty liver disease

Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages

Smoking habit

Overweight or obesity

Liver diseases inherited from parents, such as hemochromatosis and Wilson's disease

Weak immune system, for example as a result of suffering from HIV/AIDS or having recently undergone an organ transplant

Have had gallstones or had gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy)

Long-term (chronic) heartworm infection

Certain conditions, such as diabetes or lupus

Exposure to aflatoxins, which are toxins from molds that grow on beans, wheat, soybeans, corn or rice that are not stored properly

Exposure to chemicals, such as arsenic, vinyl chloride, and trichlorethylene
