Liver Cancer
What is Liver Cancer?
Liver cancer develops when abnormal cells grow out of control in the liver- a vital organ that filters blood, breaks down toxins, and helps with digestion.
Cancer can start in the liver itself (primary liver cancer) or spread from other parts of the body (secondary or metastatic liver cancer).
The most common type is called Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), which begins in the liver’s main cells. Early liver cancer may not cause symptoms, so it’s often found in later stages without regular screening.
Your Guide to Liver Cancer
-Chronic Hepatitis B or C infections
-Cirrhosis (scarring of the liver)
-Excessive alcohol use
-Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (linked to obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
-Aflatoxins (harmful substances sometimes found in contaminated grains or nuts.)
-Smoking
Early stages often show no signs, but as the disease progresses, symptoms may include:
-Unexplained weight loss
-Pain or discomfort in the upper right side of the abdomen
-Fatigue or weakness
-Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
-Swelling in the abdomen
Treatment depends on the stage and location of the tumor. Options include:
-Robotic-Assisted Surgery (Liver resection)
-Targeted therapy or immunotherapy
-Chemotherapy
-Liver transplant
-Ablation therapies
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC):
-Most common type of primary liver cancer.
-Starts in the main liver cells (hepatocytes), often linked to liver damage from hepatitis or alcohol.
Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile Duct Cancer):
-Less common, but usually harder to treat due to late detection.
-Begins in the bile ducts inside or outside the liver.
Angiosarcoma and Hemangiosarcoma:
-Very rare cancers that begin in blood vessels of the liver.
-Grow quickly and are difficult to treat.
What is Robotic Surgery for Liver Cancer?
Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive technique where the surgeon uses robotic arms controlled from a console to remove liver tumors with extreme precision. Patients often experience less blood loss, reduced risk of infection, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
This method is very useful for eliminating tumors that are located in deep or delicate parts of the liver, which are difficult to reach with typical open surgery. With robotic assistance, surgeons can navigate around critical structures more safely, preserving healthy liver tissue while effectively removing the cancer.
Why Robotic Surgery?
Faster Recovery Time
Low Risk of Infection
Lesser Scars
Less Discomfort After Surgery
Shorter Hospital Stay
Speedier Return to Daily Life

Commonly Asked Questions
Liver cancer can be serious because the liver is a vital organ that helps with digestion, blood filtering, and energy storage. Early detection and treatment greatly improve outcomes, especially with expert care.
Robotic surgery requires smaller cuts, which means less pain, fewer complications, lower risk of infection, and faster recovery. It also helps surgeons access hard-to-reach areas of the liver more safely and effectively.
Yes, in the hands of a skilled and experienced surgeon like Dr. Nitin Singhal, robotic surgery is considered very safe and often more effective for specific liver tumors, especially those in delicate or deep locations.
Most patients recover quicker than they would after open surgery—often going home in a few days and returning to normal activities within a few weeks.
