Liver Cancer
Liver cancer care depends on tumour size, liver function, and the overall health of the patient.
Understanding Liver Cancer
Liver cancer may arise in the liver itself or involve the organ secondarily from another cancer. Many patients also have cirrhosis or chronic liver disease.
Treatment planning requires careful imaging, liver function testing, and multidisciplinary review.
At CI(WIA), decisions are tailored to whether the goal is curative treatment, disease control, or symptom relief.
