Liver cancer statistics

To provide the most current cancer statistics, statistical methods are used to estimate the number of new cancer cases and deaths until actual data become available.

Incidence is the total number of new cases of cancer. Mortality is the number of deaths due to cancer. Statistics include liver cancer and cancer of the intrahepatic bile duct (the part of the bile duct in the liver).

It is estimated that in 2023:

• 4,700 Canadians will be diagnosed with liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer.
• 3,500 Canadians will die from liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer.
• 3,200 men will be diagnosed with liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer and 2,200 will die from it.
• 1,450 women will be diagnosed with liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer and 1,300 will die from it.
