Bringing you the Nonsurgical Alternatives for Liver Cancer
Liver cancers are of two types. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the primary type of cancer and it arises due to the abnormal growth of liver cells. Secondary liver cancer is a metastatic tumor arising due to spread of cancer to the liver from another part of body. Liver cancer is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. It generally carries a poor prognosis. Surgical resection – removing the cancerous portion of the liver – is considered the best hope for a cure. Unfortunately, most patients do not qualify for surgery due to extensive tumor burden, the presence of extra-hepatic spread or the extent of underlying liver disease. Liver transplantations are available for a small number of patients, but organ supply is limited, and tumor progression during the prolonged waiting period results in a high dropout rate.
Interventional radiology allows medicine and technology to combine forces and come up with revolutionary minimally invasive non-surgical anticancer treatments.
