Hello,
With the question “What are the treatment methods for liver tumors? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Three of you have a tumor in your liver, but your health is weak and you can't have a biopsy. Biopsy helps to diagnose benign or malignant liver tumors. However, in some cases, liver biopsy is not required to diagnose benign or malignant liver tumors.
Treatment methods for liver tumors include:
Surgical removal of the liver tumor. Surgery to remove part of the liver Ligation of the hepatic artery to block blood flow to the liver tumor: Without a blood supply, the liver tumor may stop growing or shrink. Arterial embolization: to block the blood supply and destroy the tumor. Liver transplant surgery. In case the three of you are not healthy enough for a biopsy, if the three of you have a benign liver tumor, there is no need for intervention. If you have three malignant liver tumors, it is difficult to treat one of the methods mentioned above because your health does not allow.
If you still have questions about liver tumor treatment methods, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
