Benign liver tumors, when properly treated, do not usually affect life expectancy. The 5-year survival rate of early-stage malignant liver tumors is usually about 70%, while the 5-year survival rate of middle and late-stage may be less than 10%. In clinic, benign liver tumors are more common as hepatic hemangiomas and hepatic cysts. If the diameter is less than 5cm, no special treatment is needed, and regular rechecking can be done; if the diameter is larger than 5cm, it can be treated by surgery or interventional therapy, and the prognosis is generally better, and the survival time is not affected. Early stage malignant liver tumors can be resected by radical surgery, and the 5-year survival rate after surgery is usually about 70%. On the other hand, once intermediate and advanced malignant liver tumors miss the best time for surgical treatment, they can only be treated conservatively, and their prognosis is very poor, and the 5-year survival rate may be less than 10%. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are the keys to cure cancer and prolong life, meanwhile, patients should keep an optimistic and positive mindset, which is conducive to prolonging the survival period.
