What is multiple small hepatocellular carcinoma

China is a country with a high incidence of hepatitis B. Most liver cancers in my country develop from hepatitis B cirrhosis. The number of hepatitis C patients is also increasing, and hepatitis B can also develop into liver cancer. There are many early symptoms of liver cancer, and pain is the most common symptom. So what are multiple small liver cancers? Let the experts introduce it to you.

Multiple small liver cancers refer to multiple tumors in the liver instead of just one. Once liver cancer spreads and metastasizes in the late stage, the number of tumors in different parts of the body will increase, just like multiple liver cancers. But in fact, this is not the case. This is just a symptom of liver cancer spreading.
In China, most liver cancer patients have concurrent hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Some scholars believe that after surgical resection of a single liver cancer, the concurrent cirrhosis of the host is the only significant risk factor affecting recurrence and prognosis. Patients with multiple liver cancers often develop liver cancer from chronic hepatitis B or C. The presence of active hepatitis causes repeated necrotic inflammation and regeneration of the liver, accompanied by a large number of mitosis, which in turn causes gene mutations, and occurs in multiple centers. Therefore, the surgical resection rate is relatively low, which is also a risk factor for late recurrence of multiple liver cancers.
