- Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) / Liver Cancer Care
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, developing from liver cells. It often occurs in individuals with long-term liver damage or cirrhosis caused by fatty liver, chronic alcohol use, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C. Early detection and treatment are crucial for successful outcomes.
Early Detection & Screening
Stay ahead with proactive liver health monitoring:
In patients with Liver cirrhosis to do
- Ultrasound of the liver – every 6 months
- Blood test for Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) – a key tumor marker
Diagnosis
- Our expert team uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools:
- Blood Tests – Assess liver function and detect tumor markers (AFP, PIVKA-II)
- Imaging – High-quality CT scans and MRI scans to identify liver tumors accurately
- Biopsy – Only performed if necessary for uncertain cases
Surgical Treatment Options
- Curative surgery is available for early-stage HCC:
- 1. Liver Resection
- Removes the portion of liver containing the tumor
- Ideal for patients with good liver function
- High success rates when tumor is localized
- 2. Liver Transplantation
- Replaces diseased liver with a healthy donor liver
- Preferred for patients with poor liver function or decompensated cirrhosis
- 5-year survival rates over 70% in selected patients
- Surgery offers the best chance of complete recovery when HCC is detected early.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
- When surgery isn’t suitable, our specialists offer advanced non-invasive therapies:
- Ablation – Destroys tumors with heat, cold, or energy (Radiofrequency, Microwave, Cryoablation)
- Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) – Direct chemotherapy delivery to tumors while blocking blood supply
- Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE) – Radioactive beads shrink tumors via targeted radiation
- Systemic Therapy / Immunotherapy – Medications to target cancer cells throughout the body
- Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) – Precise, high-dose radiation to kill tumor cells while protecting healthy liver tissue
