What is the survival rate for liver cancer?
Only a small number of liver cancers are found in the early stages and can be removed by surgery.
The 5-year survival of patients with resectable early stage cancer is about 30% to 60%.
This percentage decrease for more advanced cancer or liver disease more severe.
Survival at 5 years refers to the percentage of patients who live at least 5 years after their cancer is diagnosed.
Five-year rates are used to produce a standard way of discussing prognosis.
Of course, some people live longer than 5 years.
The 5-year survival for people whose cancer has spread throughout the liver or to distant sites is less than 5%, and the average survival time is often measured in months.

Part of the reason for this low survival rate is that most patients with liver cancer also have other problems such as liver cirrhosis, which itself can be fatal.
