What is the difference between liver cancer and liver cihrossis?

Liver cancer, like any cancer, is a proliferation of malignant cells which can migrate to other parts of the body, causing further cancerous tumors. (i.e new cancerous cells are developing in the liver and progressively hindering liver function).

Whereas liver cirrhosis is a progressive scarring of the existing liver tissue, to the extent that liver function is severely compromised.
