Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Treatment of liver cancer depends on type, stage and location. In initial stage without widespread metastatic lesion surgery is useful. In later stage surgery is not possible. Chemotherapy remains the treatment of choice and despite of treatment prognosis remains poor.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
