Liver Cancer

Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer, is a type of cancer that originates in the liver cells. It can either begin in the liver itself (primary liver cancer) or spread to the liver from other parts of the body (secondary or metastatic liver cancer). Liver cancer can interfere with the normal functioning of the liver and potentially spread to other organs if left untreated.

Treatment name Cost range

Liver Cancer Rs.199800 to Rs.266400

Chemotherapy Rs.44400 to Rs.59200

The treatment of liver cancer involves a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including:

Hepatologists or Gastroenterologists: These specialists focus on the diagnosis and management of liver diseases, including liver cancer. They play a key role in assessing liver function, performing biopsies, and providing guidance on treatment options.

Surgical Oncologists: Surgical oncologists specialize in performing surgical procedures fo

Various technologies and treatment approaches may be used in the management of liver cancer, including:

Minimally Invasive Procedures: Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery, may be employed to remove liver tumors with smaller incisions and faster recovery compared to open surgery.

Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE): TACE is a procedure in which chemotherapy drugs are delivered directly to the tumor through the hepatic artery, combined with the blockage of blood vessels feeding the tumor. This approach helps to kill cancer cells while minimizing the impact on healthy liver tissue.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): RFA involves using high-frequency electrical currents to generate heat and destroy liver tumors. It is often used for small liver tumors or in patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): SBRT uses advanced imaging techniques to deliver precise and highly focused radiation doses to liver tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.

Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy medications may be used to stimulate the immune system and enhance its ability to recognize and attack cancer cells.
