Liver Cancer

Liver cancer occurs when the cells that make up the liver begin to grow abnormally and become cancerous. The liver is one of the most important organs in the body as almost everything we ingest passes through it. There are two main types of liver cancer: primary and metastasized. Primary liver cancer remains localized within the organ while metastasized spreads to other parts of the body from the liver. As with all forms of cancer early detection, diagnosis and treatment is associated with the best outcomes.
