Orlando Health Cancer Institute participates in clinical trials, testing and evaluating the latest therapies, treatments, screening and diagnostic tools for pancreatic cancer.

This is adult liver cancer that originates in the liver. There are two types:

Hepatocellular carcinoma

(HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer. People with chronic liver diseases caused by hepatitis B, hepatitis C and excessive alcohol consumption are at particular risk. This cancer can start as a single tumor or a series of small cancer nodules that form throughout the liver.

Cholangiocarcinoma

(bile duct cancer) is a rare cancer in the bile ducts – the tubes that move bile fluid from the liver thru the pancreas and to the small intestine. The cancer cells can grow in the bile ducts inside or outside the liver.

Secondary liver cancer

This type of liver cancer starts in another part of the body and spreads to the liver via the blood stream (metastasis). Such metastatic cancer is named after the organ where it developed. Secondary liver cancer is more common than primary liver cancer.
