Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Liver cancer is a fatal type of cancer that kills patients within a year of contracting it. It is the fifth most common form of cancer that is found in the World. Approximately four hundred and fifty thousand people contract liver cancer annually. The disease is fairly less common in Western Europe and North America but more prominent in South East Asia and Sub Saharan Africa.

    Once a person has contracted Hepatitis C that affects the liver the chances of contracting liver cancer rise considerably. Liver cancer that normally starts in some other part of the body and then spreads to the liver is called metastatic cancer whereas that one that originates in the liver itself is known as hepatocellular cancer. Over ninety percent of liver cancers belong to the later type.
