liver cancer

Health Tip : Liver Cancer

The liver is one of the major organs in your body responsible for removing toxins from the human body. It breaks down these toxins into pigmented substances and excretes these substances into our intestines. Liver cancer is very common in Asian countries such as Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The liver serves as the body's factory, manufacturing proteins that allow our blood to clot normally and proteins that make up our muscles. Sugars and starches that the body requires to sustain life are made and stored by the liver. Excessive alcohol consumption, the Hepatitis B and C viruses and smoking are some of the factors that increase your risk of getting Live Cancer.
