Cancer is an uncontrolled overgrowth of cells. Any cancerous growth that arises from the cells of the liver is called primary liver cancer. The most common primary liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Any cancerous growth in the liver that has spread there from other organs in the body is called secondary cancer or more commonly referred to as “metastases”. The liver is a very common site in the body for metastases from various cancers such as colorectal cancers, breast cancer etc.
