I merged hepatic tumour to this article because I think this a more generally accesible page for this subject. --Steven Fruitsmaak 17:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Suggested move
This page is more accurately titled "Liver tumor", because the article includes both benign and malignant tumors. Axl 16:37, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Support. Not quite sure what liver cancer should then become:
 * Disambig to liver tumor and hepatocellular carcinoma
 * Redir to hepatocellular carcinoma
 * Redir to liver tumor - but in all cases, these articles need to point each to the other. Andrewa 04:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Andrew. Liver cancer should re-direct to hepatocellular carcinoma.Axl 09:14, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose - All articles on Wikipedia about cancer don't discuss the concept of the tumour, but the cancer itself. It also creates controversy over the BrE/AmE spelling. Reginmund 21:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * "All articles on Wikipedia about cancer don't discuss the concept of the tumour, but the cancer itself." That's because articles about cancer are, er, about cancer. That's exactly my point. "It also creates controversy over the BrE/AmE spelling." Numerous articles have one or other variant spelling. All that is required is a re-direct from the counterpart. Indeed "Tumour" re-directs to "Tumor". Axl 06:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 23:34, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

"Antibody retards growth and induces death in liver cancer cells"
Using a newly available monoclonal antibody, they (University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers) demonstrated significant reductions in tumor cell proliferation and survival in human and mouse hepatocellular cancer (HCC) cell lines. According to the researchers, this finding has significant implications not only for the treatment of liver cancer but for a number of different types of cancer.

Peer Review for "benign" section
This is a summary of the peer review document I filled out for user Medicalcomm's edits to the "benign" section of this page:

Lead section: Put a definition of ‘benign’

Article: Add images, add in additional links to other wikipedia pages

References: looks great, no suggestions

Overall article: read through for grammar, otherwise looks great — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beckgold (talk • contribs) 01:03, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for this helpful feedback User:Beckgold. Very helpful! I added definition for benign in parenthesis in the overview section. I also tried to edit for grammar and would appreciate wikipedia editors thoughts on how to improve further.Medicalcomm (talk)

Wikipedia editors, I have not updated the diagnosis section- needs a lot of content editing and references. Wanted to ask if you think it is necessary to include given the liver cancer page has details on diagnosis as well? Medicalcomm (talk)

Hello Wikipedia editing community! I have made many edits to the liver cancer and also the liver tumor page. I have noticed consider overlap between these 2 pages and wanted to hear thoughts on consolidating to one page? I tried to add context and simplify text and would appreciate feedback on editing to make better as well. Will also post on the liver cancer page this comment as well! Thank you!
