Hepatectomy Liver Cancer Surgery – In this type of surgery, a portion of the liver is surgically removed. A Hepatectomy is performed when cancer is in one part of the liver, and the other part of the liver is working well. The remaining section of liver takes over the functions of the entire liver and may regrow to its normal size within a few weeks.

Liver Transplant Surgery- A liver transplant may be the best option for some people with small liver cancers. These transplants are reserved for those with small tumours (either 1 tumour smaller than 5 cm across or 2 to 3 tumours no larger than 3 cm) that have not invaded nearby blood vessels. Transplant is used for tumours that cannot be totally removed, either because of the location of the tumours or because the liver is too diseased for the patient to withstand removing part of it.

Chemotherapy – Chemotherapy is a  treatment where a drug is injected into the hepatic artery and enters the bloodstream and kill cancer cells. If cancer cells have broken off from the tumour and are somewhere else in the body, chemotherapy has the chance of finding those cells and killing them.

Radiation Therapy- Radiation therapy is another potential treatment for liver cancer. High energy X-rays are delivered only in the areas at highest risk for cancer in this method. As cancer cells are not as good as normal, healthy cell at repairing their DNA damage, radiation results in relatively more damage to the cancer cells than to normal cells.
