As with any "terminal" disease terminal liver cancer means there is no cure and doctors expect the patient to die from either the cancer or a complication of the disease. One very important thing to remember is no doctor can tell when the death will occur. If the person chooses to fight the cancer he may outlive all expectations. Staying positive will help and having loved ones close by will give the person needed strength. Remember that laughter is very strong medicine. It is so important that many major medical centers use comedy videos as part of their treatment program.

Is hepatic liver cancer the same as heptaocellular carcinoma of the liver?
Yes, "hepatic liver cancer" and "hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of the liver" are referring to the same condition. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer, and it specifically refers to cancer that begins in the hepatocytes, which are the main type of liver cells. "Hepatic" simply means "related to the liver," so "hepatic liver cancer" is another way to describe hepatocellular carcinoma or liver cancer that originates in the liver cells.

What kind of disease is liver cancer?
Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer, is a type of malignant tumor that originates in the liver. It is a form of primary cancer, meaning it starts in the liver cells rather than spreading to the liver from other parts of the body. The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which develops in the hepatocytes, the main type of liver cell. Liver cancer can also be classified as: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC): This is the most common type and typically occurs in individuals with chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis. Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: This cancer begins in the bile ducts within the liver. Hepatoblastoma: This rare type of liver cancer primarily affects children. The risk factors for liver cancer include chronic infections with hepatitis B or C viruses, cirrhosis (often due to alcohol abuse or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), exposure to aflatoxins (toxins produced by certain molds), and some genetic conditions.
If they saw positive cancer tracers in my blood and they traced it to my liver but my liver is ok but I still have positive cancer tracers then do I have cancer somewhere else?
You may. If the cancer originated in the liver and the carcinoma cells are being found in the bloodstream, then the cancer from the liver has already metastasized and is moving around through the entire system. These metastasized cancer cells may 'stick' in other sites.

What happens if you have liver cancer an you drink alcohol?
Surprisingly, liver cancer is more likely to occur after a long-time alcohol abuser stops drinking. That's because as the liver quickly re-grows, malignant cells are more likely to develop. My guess would be that you would just die quicker...therefore the patient would be committing suicide.
