is there any treatment for liver cancer which is in final stage?

Answer 1

The following material is about a new treatment option from the University of Maryland:

Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT): A New Treatment for Inoperable Liver Cancer

These microscopic radioactive beads, called SIR-Spheres®, deliver radiation directly to the tumor site while sparing surrounding tissue.

The University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center (UMGCC) in Baltimore is performing a new treatment for inoperable liver cancer known as Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT).

SIRT is a non-surgical outpatient therapy that uses microscopic radioactive spheres, called SIR-Spheres®, to deliver radiation directly to the site of the liver tumors. This unique, targeted therapy spares healthy tissue while delivering up to 40 times more radiation to the liver tumors than would be possible using conventional radiotherapy.

Our physicians are very experienced at using microscopic beads to treat inoperable liver cancer. UMGCC was the first in the nation to successfully perform TheraSphere -- which used microscopic glass beads to deliver radiation to liver tumors -- in 2000. SIR-Spheres, developed by the Australian firm Sirtex Medical and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2002 for patients with primary colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver, are the latest of a wide range of liver-directed therapies we offer to best meet our patients' needs.

Our multidisciplinary team of gastrointestinal malignancy specialists hold weekly conferences to review and/or determine the best treatment for our patients. This team includes surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and pathologists.

Our Liver Directed Therapies Program includes a full array of treatment options for patients with primary/metastatic liver disease. In addition to SIRT and traditional surgical, chemotherapeutic or radiation approaches, these treatment options include:

Radiofrequency ablative therapy
Chemoembolization
Extracranial radiosurgery
While treatment with SIR-Spheres®, is generally not regarded as a cure, it has been shown to shrink liver cancer more than chemotherapy alone. This can increase patients' life expectancy and improve their quality of life.

Answer 2

Liver cancer, that is, hepatocellular carcinoma, or hepatoma, is an aggressive form of cancer which is only curable if it can be completely resected from the body in the early stages. In its late stages (e.g. metastatic, locally advanced), there is no good response to conventional chemotherapy.

The only treatments for this disease would be either clinical trials or palliative therapy, meaning, treatments aimed at reducing the symptoms and improving quality of life. Some of these palliative therapies are aimed at reducing pain and other side effects that result from cancer cells within the liver. It may involve directly injecting chemotherapy into visible tumors or using radiation.

The link below points to the list of clinical trials for all forms of liver cancer listed with the National Cancer Institute.

Answer 3

Time with family and loved ones.
Do things that are enjoyable.
Live healthily, sleep well, fresh air, make best out of the rest of the days.
Try some experimental treatment if you want, if you are prepared to deal with side effects, complications, even more misery and suffering. You can fight it, struggle, never give up.
Do what you think is right.
Find peace.

Answer 4

problem os serious. if it is last stage. then it is better to go no treatment. it will take more budget from you.
but think about this.

Answer 5

only palliative treatment

Answer 6
