Abstract

Primary hepatic malignancies are among the leading causes of cancer deaths. The epidemiology, natural history, and staging of primary hepatic tumors are reviewed. Both subtotal hepatectomy and total hepatectomy with liver transplantation are appropriate therapeutic options based on careful patient selection. Prognostic factors related to these tumors also are reviewed.
