Liver cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the liver. The most common type is Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), while cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) is less common. Liver cancer is often linked to chronic hepatitis B or C infection, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, or long-term alcohol use.
Early detection is crucial, as liver cancer often remains silent until advanced stages. In India, patients can access advanced surgery, liver transplantation, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and minimally invasive procedures like TACE (Transarterial Chemoembolization) and radiofrequency ablation.

Blood tests: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels
Imaging: Ultrasound, CT, MRI, PET scan
Biopsy: Confirms cancer type and stage
Liver function tests: Assess organ condition before treatment
Treatment depends on tumor size, liver function, spread of cancer, and overall health of the patient.
Hepatectomy: Removal of the cancerous part of the liver.
Liver Transplant: Entire diseased liver replaced with a healthy donor liver (for advanced cirrhosis with liver cancer).
TACE (Transarterial Chemoembolization): Injecting chemotherapy directly into the liver tumor’s blood supply and blocking blood flow.
TARE (Transarterial Radioembolization): Similar to TACE but uses radioactive particles.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Heat destroys cancer cells.
Microwave Ablation: Uses microwave energy to kill tumor cells.
Targeted Therapy: Drugs like Sorafenib, Lenvatinib, Regorafenib act on cancer growth pathways.
Immunotherapy: Drugs such as Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab boost the immune system against cancer.
Chemotherapy: Less commonly used but sometimes given in advanced cases.
Symptom relief and supportive treatment in advanced stages.
The cost depends on the stage of disease, treatment approach, and hospital infrastructure.

Liver condition – cirrhosis or hepatitis may complicate treatment and recovery.
Type of hospital – transplant centers and specialized oncology hospitals charge more.
Medication choice – patented targeted or immunotherapy drugs significantly increase costs.
Number of sessions – TACE or systemic therapy may require multiple cycles.
