NewsThe Times of IndiaLiver cancer doesn't always announce itself: The early symptoms many people miss
The liver is one of the hardest-working organs in the human body. It filters toxins, helps digest food, stores nutrients, regulates metabolism, and supports immunity. Yet, despite its importance, it often suffers in silence.Liver cancer is now among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The worrying part is that many people do not know they have it until the disease has reached an advanced stage. Unlike some cancers that announce themselves with obvious symptoms, liver cancer can quietly grow for months, sometimes years, before showing clear signs.According to the latest estimates from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP), liver cancer remains one of the major causes of cancer mortality in India, largely because many cases are detected late. The purpose of understanding these warning signs is not to create fear. It is to encourage awareness, especially among those living with liver disease or carrying risk factors that put them in the danger zone.
