Liver Operations
Surgery is the most effective treatment for primary liver cancer. Liver cancer is also known as Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). The type of operation you have depends on the number of tumors in the liver and how damaged the liver is from chronic liver disease. Only a small number of people with HCC can have surgery.
When Performing a Liver Operation
Your surgeon and specialist nurse will tell you whether surgery is a possible option for you. They will explain what it involves and the possible complications or risks. An operation to your liver is major surgery. It is important to have all the information you need before you decide.
