• Ablation (Microwave ablation/ radiofrequency ablation): This treatment procedure can be used with patients whose tumor is small or surgery is not a viable option. High energy waves are then passed into the tumor through the probe which in turn heats and destroys the cancer cells.
• Embolization and Chemoembolization: In this procedure, chemotherapy drugs and a mixture of oil and small particles are injected into the artery which supplies blood to the tumor. This blocks the supply of blood and oxygen to it and also ensures that the chemotherapy medications stay in the liver for a more extended period of time.
• Hepatectomy: Also known as liver resection, it is a surgical treatment to remove a portion of the liver in case of liver disease. As long as the remaining portion of the liver is healthy, up to two-thirds of it can be removed. Our liver is a regenerative organ which means the remaining part will enlarge to its previous size if it is healthy.
• Liver Transplant: In is procedure, a diseased liver is transplanted and replaced by a healthy liver from the donor. When the cancer is contained to the liver and has not progressed to other tissues or organs, only then liver transplant performed.
• Radiation Therapy: This method of treatment involves using high-energy rays (or particles) to destroy cancer cells. But it might not be considered a viable option for patients whose liver is already damaged due to conditions such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. This procedure is either performed externally where the radiation from an outside source is focused on cancer or internally where small radioactive beads are injected into the hepatic artery which in turn give off small amounts of radiation.
• Targeted Therapy: This method of cancer treatment involves drugs that identify and attack precisely cancer cells leaving out healthy cells. Targeted therapy can be used individually or in combination with other cancer treatments. This procedure is preferred in case cancer has spread to other parts of the body or surgery isn’t possible right away because of the tumor’s size and its proximity to important blood vessels.

Not all the treatment options are open for all the patients with various degree of liver cancers. The final treatment is decided based on the liver functions, liver cancer stage. It spreads in the liver. It involvement of the Liver Bashers and spreads outside the liver. So the final treatment is decided or, individualized based on the patient condition and cancer status.
