Depending on the location and severity of HCC, there are multiple treatment options available.
Liver surgery: If HCC is found early enough, surgery can be done to remove the tumor. This is often the most successful treatment option and can offer the best chance of curing HCC.
Radiation therapy: If the tumor is too large to be completely removed, radiation therapy can shrink the tumor or help manage the cancer.
Chemotherapy: Local chemotherapy is used for some patients.
Liver transplantation: If the cancer has not spread to other areas of your body, a liver transplant may be an option. During a liver transplant, the entire liver is removed and replaced with a piece of healthy liver from a donor.
