Your friend probably has cancer of the liver (cancer in the liver can be primary - meaning that a cell in the liver turned cancerous and then grew into a tumor (just like us having primary breast cancer where a cell in the breast turned cancerous and grew into a tumor).
Secondary liver cancer is when a cancer cell from another part of the body travels to the liver and starts growing there (like a breast cancer cell or a lung cancer cell). Her biopsy will tell if she has primary or secondary cancer and the pathology of the cancer. If it is not cancer of the liver, they will be able to tell if it is lung or breast cancer growing in her liver.
I hope this helps.
