Primary liver cancer.A review of the clinical features, blood groups, serum enzymes, therapy, and survival of 65 cases

Abstract: A review of 65 patients with primary liver cancer was made. Of these, 53 had hepatocarcinoma. Primary cancer of the liver was most frequently found in patients aged 50 to 80 years, and was observed in three times as many males as females.

Ascites, jaundice, diarrhea and weight loss were more frequent in dogs with carcinoid than in dogs with other types of neoplasms, probably because carcinoids involve the liver diffusely, extend most frequently to the peritoneal cavity with carcinomatosis, and are associated with production of serotonin, which can cause diarrhea [32,35].…”
