What makes thing worse is that these cells rapidly spread through the body since the body is made up of innumerable tissues and cells are the building blocks of tissues. It is important to note that only those cancers that start or originate in the liver can be termed as liver cancer. Functions of the liver include the production of bile to break-down fats, absorb nutrients and allow the body to clear toxins like alcohol or drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4887 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.candrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/the-causes-of-liver-cancer.png\" alt=\"the causes of liver cancer\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.candrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/the-causes-of-liver-cancer.png 400w, https:\/\/www.candrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/the-causes-of-liver-cancer-300x224.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several <\/span><b>different types of tumors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that may originate in the liver.
