Liver Surgery

Liver surgery in the context of oncology involves procedures to treat liver tumors, which can be cancerous or benign. The main goals are to remove cancerous tissue, assess the extent of the disease, and improve the patient's prognosis. Common types of surgery include partial liver resection, where a section of the liver is removed, and liver transplantation, where the diseased liver is replaced with a healthy one from a donor. These surgeries are complex and typically require a skilled surgical team, along with careful consideration of the patient's overall health and cancer stage.
