A better way to stay on top of risk? Exactly.

If you’re at risk for liver cancer, watching for it is key. The Oncoguard® Liver solution can help. It’s exactly what you and your doctors need to stay ahead of your disease.

The liver is a vital organ—we depend on a properly functioning liver to keep us alive.

A wide variety of diseases, conditions, and injuries may affect the liver, and the damage caused by each tends to progress in a similar pattern.

Inflammation (swelling)

One of the earliest signs of liver disease is inflammation. Depending on what’s causing the liver to become inflamed, the condition may progress or possibly, the liver may heal itself.1

Fibrosis-web
Fibrosis (stiffening)

If inflammation persists, the liver may develop a type of scar tissue known as fibrosis. Fibrosis in the liver may also be treatable and reversible in some situations.1

Cirrhosis-web
Cirrhosis (scarring)

In cirrhosis, hard scar tissue begins to replace healthy liver tissue. This limits the liver’s ability to function correctly. When liver disease progresses to this point, treatment options are more limited, and the focus may shift toward preventing the condition from worsening.1

HCC-web
Liver Cancer

Liver cancer is caused by the growth and spread of disorganized, unhealthy cells in the liver. When cancer starts in the liver, it is called primary liver cancer. Cancer that spreads to the liver from another organ is called metastatic liver cancer.1

The most common type of primary liver cancer is called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Roughly 40,000 Americans are diagnosed with liver cancer each year, and that number is rising.2 If you have liver disease or are at high risk for it, your doctor may recommend a program to watch closely for the earlier signs of liver cancer. Catching liver cancer in the earliest stages may improve your chances for survival, and keep a number of treatment options open. That’s why watching for the early stages of cancer is key.3,4
