Liver Cancer Treatment in India — Advanced Oncology for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) is common in patients with hepatitis B or C, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease. India’s hepatobiliary surgery and oncology teams offer a multidisciplinary approach combining surgery, interventional radiology, radiation, and targeted therapy. Surgical options include hepatectomy and liver transplantation for eligible patients. Minimally invasive options include radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), TACE (transarterial chemoembolisation), and Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT/Y-90). SBRT radiation is available for tumours not suitable for surgery or ablation. Sorafenib, lenvatinib, and immunotherapy combinations are available at world-class prices.
