Liver Cancer Treatment & Surgery

At Millennium Physicians, we understand that every liver cancer case is unique. That’s why we offer a range of cutting-edge treatments tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Here are some of the most common and effective options:

Surgery

• Partial Hepatectomy: Removes the section of the liver containing the tumor while preserving healthy liver tissue, often recommended for smaller tumors.
• Liver Transplant: Replaces the entire diseased liver with a healthy donor liver, typically reserved for patients who meet specific criteria related to tumor size and overall health.

Ablation and Other Localized Treatments

• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Uses heat generated by high-energy radio waves to destroy cancer cells, often suitable for patients who can’t undergo surgery.
• Cryoablation: Freezes and kills cancer cells, offering a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for smaller tumors.
• Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) or Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE): Delivers chemotherapy or radiation directly to the tumor through the blood vessels supplying it, reducing harm to healthy tissue.

Targeted Therapy

• Focuses on specific molecules that promote cancer growth, helping to slow or halt tumor progression.
• Often used for advanced liver cancer or when other treatments aren’t viable.

Immunotherapy

• Boosts the body’s natural defenses to detect and fight liver cancer cells.
• Involves drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, which can be effective for advanced cases.

Radiation Therapy

• Uses high-energy beams (such as stereotactic body radiation therapy) to precisely target and destroy cancer cells.
• Can help shrink tumors or manage symptoms, especially when surgery isn’t an option.

Chemotherapy

• Employs powerful drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body.
• Not always the first choice for liver cancer, but may be considered when other therapies aren’t effective or in certain specialized scenarios.
