Sorry to say, there is no cure for liver cancer.
The bad thing about the liver itself is this: because the liver is such a large organ, it doesn't show any symptoms of something being wrong until it is 90% gone. When this happens, there is so much damage at this point that it is irreversible.
Sure there are alternative medicines, but none of these will cure liver cancer. They will only maintain what is left of it as far as function.

I don't think there is a cure but it can be slowed down with drugs depending on the severity of it. I think if you or someone close has this cancer then it would be best for you to talk with the staff and advisers at the hospital and maybe counselling would be beneficial.Alliterative drugs do not work they only give false hope if they did work there wouldn't be a problem and there wouldn't be a need for chemo.If the cancer is in a small part of the liver it may be possible to cut it out and it is said that the liver does regrow itself.but get some professional advice

Liver cancer (Hepatic tumors) are tumors or growths on or in the liver (medical terms pertaining to the liver often start in hepato- or hepatic from the Greek word for liver, hepar). These growths can be benign or malignant (cancerous). They may be discovered on medical imaging (even for a different reason than the cancer itself), or may present in patients as an abdominal mass, hepatomegaly, abdominal pain, jaundice, or some other liver dysfunction.
The usual treatment are Surgery, Chemotheraphy and Radiation Theraphy. Apart from these there are medicines in Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Unani etc., but not proved to be effective fully.
Alternatively, Liver transplantation is done to replace the liver with a cadaver liver or a live donor lobe. Historically low survival rates (20%-36%) recent improvement (61.1%; 1996-2001), likely related to adoption of Milan criteria at US transplantation centers. If the tumor disease has metastasized, the immuno-suppresent post-transplant drugs decrease the chance of survival.
On the whole CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA and very few cases are fully cured.

Everyone will say there is no cure. I should be dead from terminal cancer. I was lucky that I was foolish enough to take so much ginger that it cured my cancer. Six 500mg capsules of ginger, four times a day for three days could do it. Total cost less than $10. Read my testimonial. Ginger will increase bile flow. Take it easy until you are sure you can tolerate the full dose. You may require medical help on standby. The healthier you are the easier it is. Good luck.

Hepatocellular carcinoma
Aggressive surgery or liver transplantation may be successful in treating small or slow-growing tumors if they are diagnosed early.
Chemotherapy and radiation treatments are not usually effective but may be used to shrink large tumors so that surgery has a greater chance of success.
The usual outcome is poor, because only 10% to 20% of hepatocellular carcinomas can be removed completely using surgery. If the cancer cannot be completely removed, the disease is usually fatal within 3 to 6 months, although this is highly variable. Survival much longer than this occasionally occurs.
Please see the webpages for more details on Hepatocellular carcinma.

The liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself. And yes, there is a brilliant alternative available. There is a relatively new science, which took four nobel prizes, the products that have been developed from that science give the body the tools to repair, prevent and maintain. It is based on cell-to-cell communication and gets to the root cause.
Thousands of cancer patients have been brought back from the brink with this alternative.
I work with the pioneers on this science and you will not find better anywhere else.
They also offer ongoing support for anyone taking their products.
The science is explained on a skin website, but it applies to all illnesses no matter how chronic. There is also a website with testimonies on it.
Take care.

There is no cure for any cancer. Liver is the second worst with pancreatic 1st. With regards to kirbys remark, having faith in god is a bit silly as he designed cancer aand all terminal illnesses.

I don't think so. I believe Liver Cancer is the worst kind, at least that is what I've heard. However, God can make miracles happen, if it his will, and you believe in him.
