What is liver cancer?
Liver cancer is sometimes called primary liver cancer. This is cancer that starts in the liver. Around 6,600 people in the UK are diagnosed with primary liver cancer each year.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer.
We have more information about the symptoms of HCC and how liver cancer is diagnosed.

Cancer that starts somewhere else in the body and spreads to the liver is called secondary cancer in the liver. It is treated differently to primary liver cancer. You can find out more about secondary liver cancer.
