About Liver Cancer

Liver cancer is a disease where abnormal cells grow in the liver, often starting as a tumor. The most common type is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Includes

  • Liver tumors (HCC, hemangioma, adenoma)
  • Liver cysts or abscess
  • Cirrhosis (decompensated/compensated)
  • Biliary atresia (pediatric)
  • Liver resection (partial hepatectomy)
  • Liver transplant evaluation (non-emergency cases)

Top Treatment Options

Liver Transplant

A liver transplant is a surgical procedure where a damaged or failing liver is replaced with a healthy liver from a donor. It is typically done for patients with end-stage liver disease, liver failure, or certain liver cancers.

Advantages
  • 1. Saves life in cases of liver failure or end-stage liver disease.
  • 2. Improves quality of life—better appetite, energy, and overall health.
  • 3. Long-term survival possible, especially with proper care and medication.
Limitations
  • 1. Requires lifelong medication (immunosuppressants) to prevent rejection.
  • 2. Risk of complications like infections, bleeding, or rejection.
  • 3. High cost and need for a matching donor (living or deceased).

TACE (Transarterial Chemoembolization)

TACE is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat liver cancer, especially Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). It involves injecting chemotherapy directly into the liver tumor’s blood supply, followed by blocking the artery to cut off the tumor’s oxygen and nutrients.

Advantages
  • 1. Targets cancer directly, minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
  • 2. Minimally invasive, no major surgery required.
  • 3. Can shrink tumors and extend survival in inoperable cases.
Limitations
  • 1. Not a cure, but a control method for non-surgical patients.
  • 2. Multiple sessions may be needed depending on tumor response.
  • 3. Not suitable for patients with poor liver function or advanced disease.

Microwave Ablation (MWA)

Microwave Ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that uses high-frequency microwave energy to generate heat and destroy tumors, mainly in the liver, but also in lungs, kidneys, and bones. A needle-like probe is inserted into the tumor under imaging guidance.

Advantages
  • 1. Quick procedure (usually under 1 hour) with minimal recovery time.
  • 2. Targets tumors precisely, preserving healthy tissue.
  • 3. Can be repeated and combined with other treatments like TACE.
Limitations
  • 1. Not suitable for very large or multiple widespread tumors.
  • 2. Risk of recurrence if not all tumor cells are ablated.
  • 3. May cause complications like bleeding or organ damage in rare cases.
