For this reason, it appears a worthwhile task to review the current status of knowledge about the treatment of primary and metastasizing tumors of the liver.[books.google.com]
The median survival time for the responders was 7.2 months for patients with primary carcinoma and 9.4 months for patients with metastatic carcinoma of the liver as compared to 2 months for patients who failed to respond to the treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
With an estimated 400,000 new cases of HCC in China each year and 372,000 deaths, he adds, there is an urgent need for new treatments.[ecancer.org]

This review presents a case report that illustrates the distinctive pathological features of metastatic HCC, along with a brief review of pathological features, staging, treatment and prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, if there is co-existing extensive extrahepatic disease, prognosis is usually guarded. Prognosis Deposits from colorectal cancer seem to have a better prognosis.[patient.info]
Knowing the stage helps the doctor decide what kind of treatment is best and may help predict a patient's prognosis. There are different stage descriptions for different types of cancer.[cancer.net]
Treatment Prognosis 5-year survival rate Western countries: 27–49% Asia and Africa: 10%[amboss.com]
Prognosis A poor prognosis is associated with large tumour size, multifocal disease, extrahepatic disease and metastatic spread. [ 21 ] Older children and adults also tend to have a worse prognosis. [ 23 ] Cholangiocarcinoma See the separate Cholangiocarcinoma[patient.info]

Prevention [ edit ] Prevention of cancers can be separated into primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primary prevention preemptively reduces exposure to a risk factor for liver cancer.[en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention Since primary liver cancer is often caused by cirrhosis, any measures that prevent chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis also prevent liver cancer.[innerbody.com]
Preventive measures include: Preventing and treating viral hepatitis may help reduce your risk. Childhood vaccination against hepatitis B may reduce the risk of liver cancer in the future. Do not drink excessive amounts of alcohol.[medlineplus.gov]
