Overview

Liver tumor surgery is a critical procedure for the surgical removal of both benign and malignant tumors in the liver. This can include primary liver cancer, which originates in the liver, or metastatic liver cancer, which has spread from another part of the body. The main goal of liver tumor surgery is to completely remove the tumor, halt or slow the disease’s progression, and ultimately prolong life expectancy.
