Diagnosis of Liver Cancer
Early diagnosis of liver cancer is essential for effective treatment. We use advanced diagnostic methods, including
Different Stages of Liver Cancer
The staging of liver cancer is crucial to determine the extent of the disease and help guide treatment decisions. Liver cancer is typically staged using the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) system or the TNM staging system. Understanding the stages of liver cancer helps doctors recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient. Below are the different stages of liver cancer
Very Early Stage
In this stage, the liver cancer is very small, and it may not show symptoms. This stage is often treated with liver resection (surgical removal) or liver transplant.
Early Stage
At this stage, the tumor is still confined to the liver. Treatment options may include surgery (liver resection or transplant), ablation therapy, or embolization, depending on the tumor’s size and location.
Intermediate Stage
This stage indicates that the cancer has grown or spread within the liver, but it has not yet spread to other parts of the body. In this stage, the patient may be treated with a combination of surgery, ablation, embolization, or systemic therapy, depending on individual circumstances.
Advanced Stage
In stage C, the cancer has spread beyond the liver to nearby blood vessels or other organs. This stage is more difficult to treat and may require chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
End-Stage/Terminal Stage
In this final stage, the cancer has spread extensively throughout the body, and liver function is significantly impaired.
