Liver Cancers
Liver cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the liver, which is the largest and most vital organ in the body. It is the third most common cause of cancer deaths in the world and the leading cause of death from cancer in the United States. Liver cancer is usually caused by a combination of risk factors, such as long-term accumulation of toxins in the liver, hepatitis, alcohol consumption, cirrhosis, and certain inherited disorders. Treatment for liver cancer depends on the stage of the cancer and can include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Early diagnosis is often key to successful treatment. The prognosis of liver cancer depends on its stage and the patient's overall health.
