Liver Cancer: Treatment and Natural Support

Liver cancer is a serious condition in which abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the liver. The most common primary liver cancer in adults is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which begins in the liver's main cells, called hepatocytes. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, which begins in bile ducts within the liver, is another important type.

It is also important to distinguish primary liver cancer from metastatic cancer in the liver. Cancers originating in the colon, breast, lung, pancreas, and other organs can spread to the liver, but these are not considered liver cancer and are generally treated according to the cancer where they originated.
