Overview

The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is poor and it depends on the following:

Whether or not the tumor can be removed by surgery
The stage of the cancer: the size of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread outside the liver
The patient’s general health
Whether the cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred
