Cancer that starts in the liver is called primary liver cancer. Around 6,600 people in the UK are diagnosed with primary liver cancer each year.
There are different types of liver cancer. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type.

A cancer that starts somewhere else in the body and spreads to the liver is called secondary cancer. Find out more about secondary liver cancer.
