Liver cancer or Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of

the commonest cancers in the world which have a high

incidence of Hepatitis B infection. Apart from Hepatitis

B, it may be caused by other diseases that lead to

cirrhosis of the liver such as Hepatitis C infection, andalcohol abuse.

Unfortunately, like many other cancers, liver cancer may go undetected until a late

stage. It is often brought to attention by an ultrasound or CT scan done for pain in

the upper abdomen or another unrelated symptom. Liver cancers are malignant

tumors that grow on the surface or inside the liver.

Imaging Studies like Abdominal CT scan and Abdominal Ultrasound test

The treatment options are dictated by the stage of Liver

Cancer and the overall condition of the patient. Thetreatment to be given depends mainly on the size,

number, and site of tumors in the liver. Before planning

the appropriate treatment the functioning of the Liver is

checked as also the spread of the cancer within and

outside the liver is to be tested. The Various treatment

options available are as follows:Surgery : Surgery is the removal of the tumor and

surrounding tissue during an operation. It is likely to be

the most successful disease-directed treatment,

particularly for patients with small tumors. A surgical

oncologist is a doctor who specializes in treating cancer

using surgery.


Hepatectomy :When a portion of the liver is removed, the surgery is called a Hepatectomy.

A Hepatectomy can be done only if the cancer is in one part of the liver, and the liver is

working well. The remaining section of liver takes over the functions of the entire liver and

may regrow to its normal size within a few weeks

Liver Transplantation :Liver transplant may be the best option for some people with small

liver cancers. At this time, liver transplants are reserved for those with small tumors (either1 tumor smaller than 5 cm across or 2 to 3 tumors no larger than 3 cm) that have not

invaded nearby blood vessels. In most cases, transplant is used for tumors that cannot be

totally removed, either because of the location of the tumors or because the liver is too

diseased for the patient to withstand removing part of it.


Radiation Therapy :Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy x-rays or other particles to

kill cancer cells. A doctor who specializes in giving radiation therapy to treat cancer is called

a radiation oncologist. A radiation therapy regimen (schedule) usually consists of a specific

number of treatments given over a set period of time. External-beam radiation therapy is

radiation given from a machine outside the body.

Targeted Therapy :Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets the cancers specific genes,

proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival. This typeof treatment blocks the growth and spread of cancer cells while limiting damage to normal

cells. Recent studies show that not all tumors have the same targets. To find the most

effective treatment, your doctor may run tests to identify the genes, proteins, and other

factors in your tumor.
