Brief Answer:
Doxorubicin and Cisplatin are also used

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxx,

Welcome to HCM

Generally, the medications are given via IV lines and not orally. You can also take Doxorubicin and Cisplatin for liver cancer.

I think that you should take the IV therapy as it is the most effective. It will help you greatly and have the fastest effect.

Also, please act fast because stage 4 disease is the most dangerous.

I hope this helped answer your question. Please post a follow up if you have more questions.
