What is the treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma?
Treatment options for hepatocellular carcinoma depend on a number of factors: the number, size, and location(s) of tumors present in the liver; the presence of metastatic cancer sites; the severity of liver disease; the functional status of the patient; and local resources/expertise. Treatment options include surgical resection or removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue from the liver, cryosurgery, hepatic artery chemoembolization, percutaneous ethanol injection, radiofrequency ablation, cisplatin gel injection, and liver transplantation.
