As the largest internal organ, the liver performs various functions such as storing nutrients, filtering waste from the blood, processing chemicals from food, alcohol, and drugs, and producing bile for fat digestion and waste elimination.
Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer, refers to the abnormal growth of cells in the liver, leading to the formation of tumors. Ranking among the top causes of cancer-related deaths globally, liver cancer affects approximately 25,000 men and 11,000 women in the United States each year, resulting in approximately 19,000 deaths among men and 9,000 deaths among women.
