The answer to this question is that liver cancer has a slight hereditary component, but it isn't particularly strong. While your family's genes play a little, if anything, that impacts your risk of liver cancer, it's your family history, which can enhance your risk in other ways.
Cirrhosis, significant scarring of the liver that develops during decades of inflammatory disease, is usually the cause of primary liver cancer. Cirrhosis cannot be passed down through the generations, but your family history may raise your chances of developing the conditions that contribute to it.
