Abstract

Hepatocellular Carcinoma is the most common type of liver cancer and constitutes 90% of cancers of liver globally. It is the 5th common cause of cancers effecting human, common in men than in women. There are multiple factors involved in the etiology of HCC, all of which may have direct or indirect impact on patient characteristics. Despite the advancement in science causative agent can often be unidentified. The clinical understanding of Yakrit arbuda requires a review and the classical texts describe a range of clinical conditions simulating carcinomas with their pathogenesis and clinical presentations. As there are still many gaps in current understanding of HCC, need of the hour are further efforts to elucidate the diverse mechanisms involved in the etiopathogenesis of Yakrit arbuda in Ayurveda. Hence the present observational case study is aimed to know the understanding of Hepatocellular carcinoma in ayurveda as different avasta bheda’s of Arbuda in Yakrit, considering its Samuthana vishesha, Adhistana antarani and Vikara prakriti which paves the way for precise diagnosis and prognosis of the disease in early stage so that the patient is benefited with appropriate measures.
