Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surgery in India to treat liver cancer Forerunners Health Care Pioneers in health tourism What is Hepatocellular Carcinoma? Hepatocellular carcinoma is a primary malignancy (cancer) of the liver. Most cases of HCC are secondary to either a viral hepatitide infection (hepatitis B or C) or cirrhosis (alcoholism being the most common cause of hepatic cirrhosis) In countries where hepatitis is not endemic, most malignant cancers in the liver are not primary HCC but metastasis (spread) of cancer from elsewhere in the body, e.g., the colon. Treatment options of Hepatocellular carcinoma and prognosis are dependent on many factors but especially on tumor size and staging. Tumor grade is also important. High-grade tumors will have a poor prognosis, while low-grade tumors may go unnoticed for many years, as is the case in many other organs, such as the breast, where a ductal carcinoma in situ (or a lobular carcinoma in situ) may be present without any clinical signs and without correlate on routine imaging tests, although in some occasions it may be detected on more specialized imaging studies like MR mammography.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surgery in India to treat liver cancer Forerunners Health Care Pioneers in health tourism Symptoms of Hepatocellular Carcinoma  The initial symptoms of Hepatocellular carcinoma are variable. In countries where liver cancer is very common, the cancer generally is discovered at a very advanced stage of disease for several reasons. For one thing, areas where there is a high frequency of liver cancer are generally developing countries where access to healthcare is limited. For another, screening examinations for patients at risk for developing liver cancer are not available in these areas. In addition, patients from these regions actually have more aggressive liver cancer disease. In other words, the tumor usually reaches an advanced stage and causes symptoms more rapidly. In contrast, patients in areas of low liver cancer frequency tend to have liver cancer tumors that progress more slowly and therefore, remain longer without symptoms.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surgery in India to treat liver cancer Forerunners Health Care Pioneers in health tourism Treatment options for Hepatocellular Carcinoma The treatment options are dictated by the stage of Hepatocellular carcinoma and the overall condition of the patient. The only proven cure for liver cancer is liver transplantation for a solitary, small (<3cm) tumor. Surgery Surgical options for Hepatocellular carcinoma are limited to individuals whose tumors are less than 5 cm and confined to the liver, with no invasion of the blood vessels.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surgery in India to treat liver cancer Forerunners Health Care Pioneers in health tourism Liver resection: The goal of liver resection is to completely remove the tumor and the appropriate surrounding liver tissue without leaving any tumor behind. This option is limited to patients with one or two small (3 cm or less) tumors and excellent liver function, ideally without associated cirrhosis. As a result of these strict guidelines, in practice, very few patients with liver cancer can undergo liver resection. The biggest concern about resection is that following the operation, the patient can develop liver failure. The liver failure can occur if the remaining portion of the liver is inadequate to provide the necessary support for life. Even in carefully selected patients, about 10% of them are expected to die shortly after surgery, usually as a result of liver failure. View our International Patient Videos

Moreover, liver transplantation is the best option for patients with tumors that are less than 5 cm in size who also have signs of liver failure. In fact, as one would expect, patients with small cancers (less than 3 cm) and no involvement of the blood vessels do very well. View our International Patient Videos

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surgery in India to treat liver cancer Forerunners Health Care Pioneers in health tourism Chemoembolization: This technique takes advantage of the fact that liver cancer is a very vascular (contains many blood vessels) tumor and gets its blood supply exclusively from the branches of the hepatic artery. This procedure is similar to intra-arterial infusion of chemotherapy. But in Chemoembolization, there is the additional step of blocking (embolizing) the small blood vessels with different types of compounds, such as gelfoam or even small metal coils. Thus, Chemoembolization has the advantages of exposing the tumor to high concentrations of chemotherapy and confining the agents locally since they are not carried away by the blood stream. At the same time, this technique deprives the tumor of its needed blood supply, which can result in the damage or death of the tumor cells. View our International Patient Videos
