Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma of the Soft Tissues (HAC) is a rare type of cancer that originates outside the liver but resembles liver cancer in appearance and behaviour. This cancer produces a protein called alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), which can be detected in the blood. HAC most commonly develops in the stomach but can also occur in other organs, such as the lungs, ovaries, pancreas, and colon.
Many sufferers of Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma of the Soft Tissues struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma of the Soft Tissues. We have recently created an Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma of the Soft Tissues resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
