Liv Hospital today announced the continued expansion of its comprehensive oncology program, offering advanced diagnostic capabilities, multidisciplinary treatment planning, and evidence-based therapies for a wide spectrum of cancer types. The initiative reinforces the hospital’s commitment to delivering safe, individualized, and technologically advanced cancer care for both local and international patients.
Cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and invade surrounding tissues. Unlike normal cells, which divide and die in a regulated manner, cancer cells continue multiplying, forming tumors or spreading through the blood and lymphatic systems. Multiple factors, including genetic mutations, environmental exposures, infections, and lifestyle-related risks, can influence this uncontrolled growth.
Understanding Cancer and Its Causes
Liv Hospital highlights that cancer arises from a combination of factors, including:
- Genetic mutations, inherited or acquired
- Tobacco use, a leading cause of preventable cancers worldwide
- Radiation exposure, including ultraviolet radiation
- Dietary patterns and obesity
- Infections, such as HPV, hepatitis B/C, and H. pylori
Cancer may also occur without identifiable risk factors, reinforcing the importance of routine medical evaluation and early detection.
Common Cancer Types Treated at Liv Hospital
Liv Hospital provides care for a wide range of cancers, including:
- Breast cancer

Each type behaves differently, requiring individualized diagnosis and treatment strategies informed by stage, tumor biology, and overall patient health.
Advanced Diagnostic Approaches
Accurate diagnosis is critical for improving outcomes. Liv Hospital’s oncology teams employ:
- MRI, CT, PET, and ultrasound imaging
