Though, I cannot give you an idea of which one is the best..I can give you a listing of the Centers in the USA... Click on this light blue link, it may be of some help to you... http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/cancer_centers/cancer-centers-list.html Here is an extra link to give you more information about cancer. http://www.cancerlinksusa.com/ I am also giving you some links to advancements in treating liver cancer: (the Sir Spheres are the latest ones known) GAMMA KNIFE http://www.gammaknife.org?

It gives up to 40 times more radiation to the liver tumors than conventional radiotherapy. Theraspheres which uses microscopic glass beads to deliver radiation to the liver tumors. It shrinks the cancer but is not a cure.. it is usually used combined with chemotherapy. If the cancer is just in the liver alone and has not gone to other areas, then there is a chance that they could be placed on the transplant list for a donor liver. If the cancer has spread to other areas from the liver, or if it has come from another area to the liver...then the transplant options would not be considered here in the states. I hope this has been of some help to you. Best wishes

M.D. Anderson in Texas is the number 1 hospital in the country in cancer treatment and research. And also Vanderbilt is ranked in the top 5. I do not really know about many of the other hospitals, however I do about these 2 as I was in Vanderbilt in 2007.
