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
