Liver cancer, the abnormal growth of cells in the liver, is classified into two major categories, primary and secondary liver cancer. Primary liver cancer originates from the cells present in the liver while secondary liver cancer originates in some other region (like the colon, stomach, lung, or breast) and spreads to the liver.
