How to cure a person that has a liver cancer or hepatoma?

Answer 1

A cure, man, that's a tough place to have a cancer. However, if the liver is having problems, you need to make sure that it is not being stressed. No alcohol, no fast food, keep protein low (tumors love protein) high fresh fruits and vegetables, no trans fats (look at the label, any hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated 'anything' is a trans-fat), and make sure their nervous system is working at its best by having them see a chiropractor.

Answer 2

I'm no doctor and I have not studied in this area but I can tell you that there are a few things you can do to give the cancer a hard time. There are a few things that can reduce the amount of cancer... It depends how advanced it is though. Ginger root, ground, fresh, pickled, or whatever will kill off cancer cells. Don't know how it accomplishes this, it just does. Also tea, specifically green and white tea, have a ton of antioxidants in them that can keep free radicals and cell damage to a minimum. Another diverse method you can do is Reiki. Reiki is a method of energy manipulation that originated in Japan from a man named Mikao Usui. It's a method of healing yourself and others with your hands using a universal source of divine energy, or chi, ki, prana, etc. I'd go into more detail, but all of my knowlege of reiki could fill up a few books, you'd be better off looking it up in a book. The way I learned it was through a book by the author David F. Vennels. Also, there's an herb that will cleanse the liver, but I'm not sure how it will work against cancer, Milk Thistle. I hope this helps, and good luck with finding a cure...

Answer 3

devine healing can be obtained by faith the sick is to be anointed with olive oil in the Name of Jesus Christ by an ordained minister so the Lord can fulful his promises If you have a Bible read John14:13 Psalm103 :1-4 Luke 10:9
1Cor 12:9 and james 5:14-15
Pray for Gods will and believe If U don't have a bible buy one!!!

Answer 4

You can't cure, you treat. The hospital will tell you the best treatment available, and what the prognosis is.

Answer 5

Your question's too broad...DrP

Answer 6

that's a tough one.

keep it real.

How Is Liver Cancer Treated?

This information represents the views of the doctors and nurses serving on the American Cancer Society's Cancer Information Database Editorial Board. These views are based on their interpretation of studies published in medical journals, as well as their own professional experience.
The treatment information in this document is not official policy of the Society and is not intended as medical advice to replace the expertise and judgment of your cancer care team. It is intended to help you and your family make informed decisions, together with your doctor.

Your doctor may have reasons for suggesting a treatment plan different from these general treatment options. Don't hesitate to ask him or her questions about your treatment options.


There is a lot for you to think about when choosing the best way to treat or manage your cancer. There may be more than one treatment to choose from. You may feel that you need to make a decision quickly. But give yourself time to absorb the information you have learned. Talk to your doctor. Look at the list of "Questions to Ask Your Doctor" at the end of this article to get some ideas. Then add your own.

It is often a good idea to seek a second opinion, especially with doctors experienced in treating liver cancer. A second opinion can provide more information and help you feel more confident about the treatment plan that is being considered. Some insurance companies require a second opinion before they will agree to pay for certain treatments. Almost all will pay for the second opinion.

Treatment of liver cancer depends on the size of the tumor and whether there is cirrhosis. People without cirrhosis can do well if the tumor is removed or with treatments that destroy the tumor without surgery (such as injecting them with alcohol or heating them to high temperatures in a procedure called radiofrequency ablation). If there is cirrhosis, or a very large tumor, most experts recommend liver transplantation as the main treatment.

Surgery

At this time surgery, either to remove the tumor or to do a liver transplant, offers the only chance to cure liver cancer. If all of the cancer that the surgeon can see at the time of the operation can be removed, you have the best outlook for survival. Complete removal of most liver cancers is not possible. Often the cancer is large, is found in many different parts of the liver, or has spread beyond the liver. Also, many people with cirrhosis do not have enough healthy liver left to make surgery an option.

A liver transplant has become an option for people with small liver cancers. For now, this method is reserved for those with a few small tumors but whose cancer cannot be totally removed, either because of the location of the tumors or because not enough normal liver remains. Over 2500 transplants were performed in people with liver cancer in the last 2 years. The 5-year survival for these patients is around 70%. Not only is the risk of a second new liver cancer eliminated, but the new liver will function normally.

Not many livers are available for patients with cancer because they are most often used for more curable diseases. Patients often must wait a long time, often too long, for a liver to be found. For that reason, some doctors suggest a limited resection first and then a transplant if the cancer comes back.

Medical advances will probably reduce the risk of rejection and the harshness of side effects. At the same time, more people are learning about the importance of organ donation.

Recently living donors have given a part of their liver for a transplant to a close family member. This can work, but it carries risks for the donor. About 300 of these types of transplants are done in the United States each year. Only a small percent are for people with liver cancer.

Tumor ablation (ab-lay-shun) or embolization (em-buh-luh-ZAY-shun): Ablation refers to local (rather than systemic) methods that destroy the tumor without removing it. There are a number of different methods to do this. These techniques are usually reserved for patients with only a few small tumors for whom surgical resection is not possible. They are not meant to cure the cancer but can produce survival rates equal to surgery in people with small tumors.

Chemoembolization involves combining embolization with chemotherapy. Studies are now going on to see if this works better than embolization alone.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is treatment that uses high-energy rays (such as x-rays) to kill or shrink cancer cells. External beam radiation delivers radiation from outside the body to the cancer. Although liver cancer cells can be killed by radiation, this treatment can’t be used at very high doses because normal liver tissue is also killed. This type of radiation may be used to shrink a liver tumor or to provide relief from symptoms such as pain, but it does not cure the liver cancer and may not help people to live longer.

A newer type of radiation treatment uses computers to map the exact location of a tumor. This lowers the damage to normal tissue and allows higher doses to be used.

Also, studies are going on to find out if using radiation along with certain chemotherapy drugs might work in treating liver cancer.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy refers to the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Usually the drugs are given into a vein or by mouth. Once the drugs enter the bloodstream, they spread throughout the body. This makes them useful for cancer that has spread to distant organs.

Liver cancer does not respond to most chemotherapy drugs. The most successful single drug has been doxorubicin (Adriamycin). But most studies have not shown that chemotherapy helps liver cancer patients to live longer.

Chemotherapy can have side effects such as the following:

nausea and vomiting
loss of appetite
hair loss
mouth sores
a higher chance of infection (from a shortage of white blood cells)
bleeding or bruising after small cuts or injuries (from a shortage of blood platelets)
tiredness and shortness of breath (from low red blood cell counts)
Most side effects go away once treatment is over. If you have side effects, be sure to tell your doctor or nurse. There are often ways to help.

Liver Cancer Survival Rates

Only a small number of liver cancers are found in the early stages and can be removed by surgery. Fewer than 30% of patients having surgery are able to have their cancer completely removed. The overall 5-year relative survival rate from liver cancer is about 9%. One reason for this low survival rate is that most patients with liver cancer also have cirrhosis of the liver, which itself can be fatal.

The 5-year relative survival rate is the percentage of patients who are still alive at least 5 years after the cancer is found. Those who die of other causes are not counted. Of course, patients might live more than 5 years after diagnosis. While numbers provide an overall picture, keep in mind that every person’s situation is unique and the statistics can’t predict exactly what will happen in your case. Talk with your cancer care team if you have questions about your personal chances of a cure, or how long you might survive your cancer. They know your situation best.
