Liver cancer. Computed tomography (CT) scan of an axial section through the human abdomen,showing cancer of the liver. At lower centre is a white bone of the vertebra. The liver is the large mass (light coloured,at left) occupying much of the abdomen; dark patches on the liver are cancerous tumours. Liver cancer may be primary (originating in the liver itself) or spread secondarily from another part of the body. Primary liver cancer is commonly linked to infection with hepatitis viruses. The more frequent type of liver cancer is secondary,often associated with cancer of the stomach or large intestine | |
