01 / IN SHORT
Liver Cancer
explained plainly.
Written for patients, reviewed by the surgeons who perform this treatment.
Liver cancer is a malignant tumour arising in the liver, often on a background of cirrhosis or hepatitis. When caught early it can be treated with surgical resection or transplantation, offering the best chance of cure.
- DEFINITION
- Malignant tumour of the liver
- RISK FACTORS
- Hepatitis B/C, cirrhosis, fatty liver, alcohol
- WHEN TO SEE A SURGEON
- Suspicious liver lesion, rising AFP, or known cirrhosis
- CURATIVE OPTIONS
- Resection · transplantation · ablation (stage-dependent)
What is liver cancer?
Liver cancer most commonly arises in people with long-standing liver disease. The main type, hepatocellular carcinoma, develops in damaged or cirrhotic livers, which is why high-risk patients benefit from regular surveillance.
Symptoms & diagnosis
Early liver cancer often has no symptoms and is found on surveillance scans. Later signs include upper-abdomen pain, weight loss and jaundice. Diagnosis uses ultrasound, CT/MRI and tumour markers.
Treatment options
Early tumours are treated by surgical resection or, in selected cases, liver transplantation — both potentially curative. Ablation, embolisation and systemic therapy are used depending on stage and liver function.

DOCUMENTED CASE · LIVER RESECTION
Large Liver Tumour Removed — Preserving a Healthy Future
1BEFORE TREATMENT
A patient with vague upper-abdomen discomfort and a mass found on a routine scan, referred for an opinion on whether surgery was even possible.
2TREATMENT
The affected liver segment was removed with meticulous control of blood vessels, achieving a complete resection with clear margins.
3AFTER TREATMENT
The patient recovered well; the liver regenerates, restoring near-normal function over the following weeks. Enrolled in a structured surveillance and recovery programme with the multidisciplinary team.
Outcomes vary between patients. These accounts describe individual experiences, not a guaranteed result.

09 / WHY DWARIKA HOSPITALABOUT THE HOSPITAL
Four promises.
One standard.
What every patient can expect here — from the first call to the last follow-up.
01.
Super-specialist led
Surgery here is performed by MCh-qualified surgical gastroenterologists, not general surgeons operating outside their specialty.
02.
Keyhole by default
Laparoscopic and scarless techniques are the standard approach, reserving open surgery for cases that genuinely need it.
03.
One team, one plan
Diagnosis, surgery, nutrition and follow-up sit under one roof — you are not handed between disconnected clinics.
04.
Counselling before consent
Every patient is told what the operation can and cannot achieve, with costs stated upfront, before anything is scheduled.
