Does Sorafenib Help To Treat Liver Cancer?
Dear Sir, My father is a patient of liver cancer (Multi Focal HCC) from Bangladesh. Today an oncologist advised my father to take Sorafenib 200mg 2 tablates in morning and 2 tablets at night. And said surgery or chemotherapy stage had already passed. Its the only treatment for my father. is this right? Shall we continue this medicine??Pray and hope that you would be kind enough to give your respectful advice. Best Regards Khan Sadat Sakib

dear khan, if HCC is multifocal involving both lobes sorafenib 400mg twice daily is one of the better option.. if your father is medically fit and tolerate, liver transplant is the only best option left.. but unfortunately most of the patients have disease beyond liver or medically unfit..
