Liver Cancer Surgery

Liver cancer surgery involves removing cancerous tumors from the liver. The primary types are resection, where the surgeon removes the tumor along with some healthy tissue, and liver transplantation, where the entire liver is replaced with a healthy one from a donor. Surgery aims to eliminate the cancer and improve the patient's chances of survival. Eligibility for surgery depends on the tumor's size, location, and whether the cancer has spread. Surgery can be a crucial part of treatment but may be combined with other therapies like chemotherapy or radiation for better outcomes.
