Accurate diagnosis of the factors behind liver cancer consists of three steps:
Step 1: List the Possible Causative Factors
Identify all disease conditions, lifestyle choices and environmental risk factors that can lead to liver cancer. Here are two possibilities:
Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist
Identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

reduced DHEA level

hair loss on lower legs

darker/redder skin color

low energy/stamina

history of breast cancer

basal cell skin cancer

minimal body hair

gout

mild right lumbar discomfort

being very easily irritated

difficulty losing weight

reduced underarm/pubic hair growth
... and more than 10 others
Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause
A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of liver cancer:
Cause |
Probability |
Status |
Low DHEA |
90% |
Confirm |
Hemochromatosis |
74% |
Possible |
* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis
The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.
Have you suffered from Liver Cancer?
Possible responses:
→ No / don't know
→ Yes but now resolved for over 5 years
→ Yes but now resolved for under 5 years

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either history of liver cancer or liver cancer,
The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:
Hemochromatosis (Iron overload)
Once a person's liver iron concentration reaches 400 mmol/gm (dry weight), cirrhosis is common and the risk of liver cancer and death is increased.
