Adult primary liver cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the liver. Having hepatitis or cirrhosis can affect the risk of developing adult primary liver cancer. Possible signs of adult primary liver cancer include a lump or pain on the right side.
The prognosis and treatment options depend on stage of the cancer (the size of the tumor, whether it affects part or all of the liver, or has spread to other places in the body), how well the liver is working, the patient’s general health, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels.
