Cancer is known as abnormal cell growth. It may occur almost at any parts of human body. Liver is the largest internal organ. It performs several functions in the human body. Because live is made of different cell types, different tumors can appear in the liver. Mostly these are metastases from other organs. The process of liver cancer staging is the most important in cancer prognosis and treatment options.

Researchers in medical centers and hospitals all over the world are working to learn more about liver cancer diagnosis. At this time, no one knows what exactly causes liver cancer pathology. However, scientists have determined that some people with certain risk factors are more likely than others to develop liver cancer. A risk factor is anything that enlarges a person's chance of developing a disease.
