  • Cancer plays a major risk for public health worldwide. According to the survey made by the cancer society predicts approximate about 42,220 new cases will be diagnosed and around 32,220 people will die of this cancer that is around 71% of people will die in 2018 and Liver cancer rate is increased by 3% for every year since 2000 and achieved second leading place for the cause of death. There is a con-tinuous in the development with regard to prevent and different options for treating the cancer. Detection of cancer at its initial stages is very difficult with the help of pathological information’s, so as any added support CAD systems using CT scan images are being designed from few decades in order to find out cancer in its early stage. In this paper discussed various segmentation techniques and liver tumor detection techniques to initial segment out the liver region from the abdominal and then to extract the efficient characteristics. Based on the characteristics presences of tumour is identified and separated out from the liver and finally analyse the stage of the cancer. Therefore the process is divided into three parts; 1.Region segmentation, 2.Liver Tumour segmentation and 3.Detection of Cancer stage. In this paper, study is done on different methods of liver region and tumour segmentation of abdominal CT scan to analyze liver tumor and detection of early stage of the tumor
