Liver Cancer
Liver cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cells of the liver. It is the fifth most common cancer in the world and can be caused by a variety of factors including chronic infections, genetics, and alcohol consumption. Treatment options for liver cancer vary depending on the type and stage of the cancer, and may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
Common Treatment Methods
Treatment options for liver cancer depend on the stage of the cancer and overall health of the patient. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, ablation and embolization therapy. Surgery can be used to remove tumors or a portion of the liver. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells and is often used in combination with other treatments. Radiation therapy, a key cancer treatment in Chennai, employs high-energy beams to specifically target cancer cells. On the other hand, ablation and embolization therapy, also integral to cancer treatment, utilize either heat or drugs to obstruct the blood supply to the tumor, aiding in its management.
