What are the current treatment options for liver cancer?
Treatment options for liver cancer depend on the stage of the disease, liver function, and the patient's overall health. Surgical resection or liver transplantation can potentially cure early-stage liver cancer. For patients who are not surgical candidates, other treatments include local ablative therapies, such as radiofrequency ablation or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), and systemic therapies like sorafenib, lenvatinib, or immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors. The choice of treatment is often multidisciplinary, involving hepatologists, oncologists, and surgeons.
