Liver function is important to understand when discussing liver cancer. The link below, to the American Cancer Society's website, takes a thorough educational approach to this subject.
According to the ACS, the liver is made up of several different types of cells, so several types of tumors can form in the liver. Some of these are cancerous and some are benign (not cancerous). These tumors have different causes and are treated differently. The outlook for health or recovery depends on the type of tumor.
Most of the time when cancer is found in the liver, it did not start there but spread to the liver from a cancer that began somewhere else in the body.
