Liver cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the liver, which is responsible for detoxification and nutrition in the body. The liver is called the 'silent organ' because there is no particular pain even when the disease becomes advanced. By the time symptoms appear, the disease has often already progressed considerably, so please do not judge on your own; be sure to have regular checkups and consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Since it was first performed in Korea in 1988, advances in technology and medication have led to more than 1,500 transplants a year at present, and the overall surgical success rate is reported to be about 90 to 95%. Liver transplantation is an important decision for both the recipient and the donor, so please discuss it thoroughly with your treating physician before making a decision.2026-06-26
