1. Liver-Cancer
Majority of primary liver cancers (over 90
to 95%) arises from liver cells and is called hepatocellular cancer or carcinoma. Liver cancer or
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the commonest cancers in the world. It may be caused by
diseases that lead to cirrhosis of the liver such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C infection, and alcohol abuse.
Liver Cancer Treatment in India
Brain cancer treatment options include a combination of chemo-, biological, radiation, or gene therapy
approaches. For patients with metastases to the central nervous system from systemic cancer,
procedures may involve:
 Surgery: Procedure to remove a portion of the liver. Your doctor may recommend partial
hepatectomy to remove the liver cancer and a small portion of healthy tissue that surrounds it if your
tumor is small and your liver function is good.
 Transplant Surgery: During liver transplant surgery, your diseased liver is removed and replaced
with a healthy liver from a donor. Liver transplant surgery may be an option for people with early-
stage liver cancer who also have cirrhosis.
 Freezing Cancer Cells: Cryoablation uses extreme cold to destroy cancer cells. During the
procedure, your doctor places the instrument (cryoprobe) containing liquid nitrogen directly onto liver
tumor.
 Heating Cancer Cells: In a procedure called radiofrequency ablation, electric current is used to heat
and destroy cancer cells. It is also called hyperthermia cancer treatment.
 Injecting Alcohol: During alcohol injection, pure alcohol is injected directly into tumors, either
through the skin or during an operation. Alcohol dries out the cells of the tumor and eventually the
cells die.
 Chemoembolization: A type of chemotherapy treatment that supplies strong anti-cancer drugs
directly to the liver. It is palliative and not curative treatment.

2.  Radiation Therapy: This treatment uses high-powered energy beams to destroy cancer cells and
shrink tumors.
 Targeted Drug Therapy: Drugs designed to interfere with a tumor's ability to generate new blood
vessels.
Technology used for Treatment of Liver Cancer
Palliative as well as curative technologies used in liver cancer treatments are blood tests, physical
examination and a variety of imaging techniques including X-rays (e.g., chest X-rays and mammograms);
computed tomography (CT); magnetic resonance (MR) and ultrasound. Also used in treatment of liver
cancer is Embolization, a well-established interventional oncology technique that is used to treat trauma
victims with massive bleeding, to control hemorrhage after childbirth, to decrease blood loss prior to
surgery and to treat tumors. In treating cancer patients, interventional radiologists use embolization to cut
off the blood supply to the tumor, deliver radiation to a tumor (radioembolization), or combine this
technique with chemotherapy to deliver the cancer drug directly to the tumor (chemoembolization).
Radioembolization is very similar to chemoembolization but with the use of radioactive microspheres. This
therapy is used to treat both primary and metastatic liver tumors.
This treatment incorporates the radioactive isotope Yttrium-90 into the embolic spheres.
Similar to Radioembolization is Cryoablation, where the energy is delivered directly into the tumor by a
probe that is inserted through the skin. But rather than killing the tumor with heat, cryoablation uses an
extremely cold gas to freeze it.
