Insufficient nutrients in your body or cells will overtime cause some parts of your body to weaken and start to get problems.

Unfortunately, the exact causes of liver cancer aren't known at this time. Researchers have identified several known risk factors for liver cancer, though.

Just like all cancers, researchers believe that liver cancer may be caused by damage to the liver cells DNA. Normally, our bodies are able to repair the damage, but in some cases it can't.

Smoking, alcohol abuse, being infected with hepatitis, or having other liver diseases are all factors that increase the chance of developing liver cancer.

No one factor has been clearly shown to cause gall bladder cancer. Although it occurs most often in people with porcelain gall bladders where repeated inflammation from passing gallstones leads to hardening (calcification) of the gall bladder, it is extremely rare even in such patients. Since the gallbladder isn't essential, people with a calcified gall bladder may consider having it removed as a preventative measure
