Primary Liver Cancers
Introduction
Primary liver cancers are cancers that originate in the liver. The most common is Hepatocellular Carcinoma (hepatoma). At first, liver cancer usually causes only vague symptoms (such as weight loss, loss of appetite, and fatigue). As a result, the diagnosis is often made late, and the prognosis is usually poor.
