At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), experienced doctors and other clinicians work together to fight liver cancer on all fronts. Patients at CTCA hospitals receive leading-edge cancer treatments, complementary therapies aimed at improving quality of life and compassionate care from a dedicated team of cancer experts.
Among the many tools and treatments we offer to help you fight liver cancer on all fronts are:
- Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for an advanced form of conformal radiotherapy. IMRT employs a powerful, advanced computer program that plans a precise dose of radiation in three dimensions, based on individual tumor size, shape and location. Remarkably, it allows for higher radiation doses than traditional radiotherapy methods, while sparing more of the surrounding healthy tissue.
- Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy can deliver a higher response rate than chemotherapy that is given orally or intravenously. It can be used for any tumor with a blood supply that can be isolated.
- Chemoembolization is used to treat certain types of liver cancer, whether the tumor began in the liver (liver cancer) or spread to it from another organ (metastasized to the liver). It involves injecting chemotherapy directly into the blood vessels that feed the liver tumor.
In addition to the advanced treatments described above, CTCA enriches your liver cancer treatment with complementary and alternative therapies such as naturopathic medicine, nutrition therapy, mind-body medicine, and spiritual support.
