Liver cancer is a malignant tumor that may cause jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), pain, weight loss, or remain asymptomatic. It has a very aggressive growth pattern and must be treated by experienced physicians. Liver cancer requires a coordinated treatment plan that sometimes includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Many liver cancers arise (start) from the liver, including hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. For more information, go to www.aboutlivertumors.com
