You will see how hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of primary liver cancer, forms in liver cells and, with continuous growth, can cause cancerous tumors to form.
In addition, you will learn about the symptoms and risk factors of liver cancer. The animation ends with illustrations of the different treatment options for liver cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
