A member asked:
Is hepatocellular disease the same as cancer?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, it is not the same. Liver cancer is one of many hepatocellular diseases. Viral or alcoholic hepatitis, give example, is also one hepatocellular disease.

Agree with Dr. Le. Hepatocellular disease is not cancer. It could be damage from alcohol, obesity, gallstones, viral hepatitis, iron or copper deposition and cirrhosis etc.
