What are the mortality rates for liver cancer?

10-70%, depends: According to acs: patients with small tumors (tumors that can be surgically removed) and do not have cirrhosis or other serious health problems do well. Their overall 5-year survival is > 50%. For people with early-stage liver cancers who are able to have a liver transplant, the 5-year survival rate is in the range of 60% -70%. Overall, for all liver cancer only 10% --5 year survival.

Probably not good.: These cancers usually arise from cirrhotic liver in patients in their 5th and 6th decade. This is also related to chronic hepatitis b and c infections. Surgery and transplant can be done if the tumor is localized, but the success rate is low, with a poor prognosis, with patients rarely living more than 1 year. But Hepatitis B Vaccine prevents it, and low alcohol use can help avoid cirrhosis.
