Liver Cancer
Liver cancer, also known as primary liver cancer, develops when cancerous cells form in the liver’s tissues. There are different types of primary liver cancer. The most common type of primary liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which begins in the liver’s main cells, called hepatocytes.
Secondary liver cancer is where the cancer started in another place and has moved to the liver.
Most people with liver cancer will have underlying liver or biliary disease. It is important that these are managed together.
