Anton Bilchik MD Discusses Treatments for Liver Cancer

The onset of liver cancer and its spread is often broken down into stages so that doctors can examine and treat each patient precisely. By knowing what stage of liver cancer a patient has, Anton Bilchik, MD, knows which treatments will work better for a patient. Liver cancers are categorized as localized resectable, localized unresectable, and advanced. For cancer categorized as localized resectable, surgery on your liver may help you become cancer free. Local unresectable cancers are those that have not yet spread but cannot be safely removed with surgery alone. At this stage, a transplant may be necessary. Advanced stages of liver cancer cannot be treated with surgery as they have spread to other parts of your body. Talk with your doctor about treatment options such as radiation therapy to help relieve pain and other symptoms.
