My father was treated at a major hospital, and we learned HCC is the most common primary liver cancer. You should ask your gastro or oncologist clearly about the staging and treatment plan instead of searching online.

HCC stands for Hepatocellular Carcinoma, which is a type of liver cancer. If there is any liver-related issue or symptom, please get it checked by a specialist doctor immediately for safety.

I am not very familiar with this term HCC. Does it always require surgery, or are there other ways to treat it under a doctor's guidance?

It is liver cancer, often linked to long-term liver issues like hepatitis or cirrhosis. The practical thing is to avoid self-medicating, cut down on alcohol, and stick to the diet and treatment your doctor prescribes.

In our family, elders always say to eat fresh food for liver health, but for serious conditions like HCC, we must completely trust our hepatologist's advice. Modern treatments for liver issues have a lot of good options now.
