You need to locate a facility and doctor that specialize in this type of cancer, preferably at a University where leading edge treatment is often available.

Personally, we have had success for an abdominal sarcoma treatment offered through the University of Pittsburgh. UPMC is known for their innovative treatments for liver cancer. It's not the only facility by any means but it may be a start for investigating.

Adult Primary Liver Cancer

Includes information for:
Radiofrequency Ablation
Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy
Overview of Hepatobiliary Surgical Program
Overview of Regional Chemotherapy Program

There is always hope, but you should also do the research. ;-)

No.You don't get a liver transplant as a preventative measure, the new liver would be just as likely to get the cancer, you'd be on immunosuppressant drugs which would make the cancer much more likely to spread everywhere and you'd never get on the transplant list in the first place with that condition.

Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options. The prognosis and treatment options depend on the following:

* The stage of the cancer (the size of the tumor, whether it affects part or all of the liver, or has spread to other places in the body).
* How well the liver is working.
* The patient’s general health, including whether there is cirrhosis of the liver.


The various methods of treatment that are used are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, percutaneous ethanol injection, hyperthermia therapy, and biologic therapy.

There is no standard treatment for advanced adult primary liver cancer, but you may consider taking part in a clinical trial.

Sadly, cancer is not curable.

You can treat cancer, to try to kill the cancerous cells, or remove them, but you cannot just "cure" cancer.

Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells (but they do cause damage to other healthy cells).
Radiation kills cells as well.
Surgery can be an option to remove cancer cells as well.

Talk to your doctor or local Cancer centre. Some options may be better or worse for a particular person.
