I have been just diagnosed with a tumor on my liver and I am waiting for the results of the MRI test to find out if it may be cancer. I am curious to know what the average percentage of people with liver cancers survive with treatment? I have searched the internet myself but I’m upset and lack the patients to sift through all the medical mumbo jumbo. Plus I am a bit confused. If someone can shed some light for me it would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t have any information to go on.

You have to understand giving no information to go on will only give you a vague answer. The 5 year survival rate ranges from 2.5% to 26%.

Probably not many. But if it is cancer, maybe they can operate it or make it disappear with chemo. And if it does not spread to other organs, maybe they can cut it since you can live with half a liver. Or you could get a transplant from one of your family member who’s willing to give up on half his liver.

The survival prospects will depend greatly on if the tumor has spread at all.
