Abstract
The incidence of primary liver cancers continues to increase worldwide. In this chapter, we discuss the risk factors, screening options, and staging classification systems for both hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. We also review management options for early-stage, locally advanced, and metastatic disease.
