Yes, you can die from liver cancer, and in fact most people diagnosed with liver cancer do die within a few years.

From what I've read online, the five-year survival rate is about 10 percent, though of course it depends on how far along the cancer is when it's diagnosed. Problem is, liver cancer is often pretty far along by the time it's detected. Sadly, most people who are diagnosed in later stages die from liver cancer rather quickly.
