Anton Bilchik Discusses the Treatment of Liver Cancer

Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Tumors that originate in the liver are called hepatomas and may be caused by hepatitis or alcohol. Other liver cancers originate from other organs in the body such as the colon or liver. Treatment may include removal (resection), liver transplantation, ablation or chemotherapy. Getting the treatment you need immediately when you are diagnosed with liver cancer is vitally important to be able to improve the chances for prolonging your life and many times cure. Dr. Anton Bilchik knows that talking with your doctor and treatment options will help you get the best chance of beating the cancer before it spreads elsewhere. Be sure to talk with your doctor about minimally invasive procedures as well because they can be effective at removing tumors and killing cancerous cells while doing the best to minimize recovery time.
