Liver cancer is largely divided into hepatocellular carcinoma originated from hepatocytes and cholangiocarcinoma originated from bile duct cells.

Hepatocellular carcinoma accounts for about 74.5% of primary liver cancer in Korea, followed by bile duct carcinoma, and other carcinomas are rare.

It is called the 'silent organ'.

This is true even in the case of liver cancer, so there are few symptoms at first and then appear slowly.

Therefore, when symptoms are obvious, most of them are already advanced.

The primary malignant tumor of the liver, which is commonly referred to as liver cancer in other organs, is also known as liver cancer.

In other words, the liver is where blood flow collects from the intestine, and cancers from other organs, such as the stomach and intestine, often spread to the liver.

However, cancer that originates in the liver itself is called liver cancer.

The incidence of liver cancer was five times higher in men than in women.

Liver cancer is the fourth most common cancer in Korea and the second highest cancer death rate.

In particular, it is known as the number one disease in the forties.

It is a disease with very low survival rate.

In fact, the chance of surviving five years after developing liver cancer is only 32.8%.

The biggest feature is the characteristics of liver cancer with low long-term survival.

According to the 2016 Statistics on Causes of Death, the death rate for liver cancer was 21.5 per 100,000 people, the second highest after lung cancer (35.1).
