liver cancer

What is Liver Cancer?
There are two main kinds of liver cancer. Heptoma and
cholangiocarcinoma. Heptoma is cancer of the hepatocytes. (The main
functioning liver cell). Hepatoma is primary liver cancer. Hepatoma
usually grows in the liver as a ball-like tumor, invading the normal
tissue surrounding it. A history of infection with the hepatitis B
virus puts individuals at risk of developing heptoma.
Cancer of the bile duct cells is called cholangiocarcinoma.
Cholangiocarcinoma originates in the bile ducts and is often caused by
infestation with the liver fluke Clonorchis (a parasite). The cancer
grows along the bile ducts in sheets or lines, and is hard to find on
X-ray studies.
