Liver Tumor treatment without surgery or regular Chemotherapy.
- If your physician has told you that you have liver cancer, but are not a candidate for standard treatment, then chemoembolization (TACE) and Microwave ablation may be a good option for you and improve your quality of life.
- While surgery to remove a liver tumor offers the best chance for a cure, surgery is not an option for more than two-third of patients with liver cancer. And many a times, patients may have many small tumors in the liver, thus making surgery too risky or impractical. Also, liver surgery is complex procedure.
- Decision to undergo such treatment shall be taken by Tumor board or by team which involves medical oncologist, oncosurgeon and radiation oncologist.
What are the benefits of Microwave/ ablation?
- Microwaveablation can be an effective treatment for primary liver cancer and for cancers that have spread to the liver in select patients whose liver tumors are unsuitable for surgical resection.
- In most studies, more than half of the liver tumors treated by ablation have not recurred. The success rate for completely eliminating small liver tumors is greater than 85 percent.
-The percutaneous method of ablation, in which needles are inserted through the skin, is minimally invasive, produces few complications.
