We are seeking the very best treatment method for a liver cancer patient.?
Please tell us the very best treatment method for a liver cancer patient. The patient is a 48-year-old Japanese male. We are seeking the country and hospital that can provide the best treatment for his liver cancer. The country can be anywhere on earth, and all methods are acceptable including chemotherapy, surgical removal and transplants. We need full information regarding liver cancer treatment worldwide. Thank you very much for your assistance. ï®The patient’s current conditions are as follows. 1.The patient was infected with the hepatitis C virus. 2.July 2006 Initial occurrence: Three liver cancers were discovered and treated using radiosurgery. 3.August 2008 Recurrence: Two liver cancers were discovered and treated with a liver resection. 4.March 2010 Recurrence: Multiple liver cancers were discovered, and treated through transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization. 5.April 23, 2010 Discharged from the hospital. Given the patient’s current conditions, it would be difficult to arrange a transplant in Japan because of the high likelihood of recurrence even after a transplant. Moreover, this case does not meet the Milan criteria. We are told that transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization, which kills 90% of the cancer cells, is the practical treatment method. Please tell us about the methods used outside of Japan.

It sounds like he has received good treatment so far. Unfortunately multiple recurrences makes treatment more difficult as it leaves you with less treatment options. It sounds like the only treatment that has not been tried yet is chemotherapy. You may want to discuss this with his oncologist. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_4_4X_Treatment_Options_by_Stage_25.asp?rnav=cri

Give him Aloe Vera juice ( cut an aloe leaf and put it in with water), and give it to him every day until he is better, it might even cure him. Trust in me, i promise this is going to help. NO soda.! or greasy foods.

SIRT - Selective internal radio therapy using resin SIR-Spheres (Sirtex) or glass TheraSpheres (Nordion). SIR-Spheres combine radioactive isotope (Y-90) with tiny particles (approximately 1/3 diameter of hair). These particles are lodged in the small blood vessels of the liver especially inside the tumour, and the isotope delivers localized radiotherapy to kill the cancer cells. This treatment is used when liver tumours are not suitable for surgery or ablation, and chemotherapy alone might not be effective. Usually a single treatment is given. Multiple therapies can be used if required. The treatment is used to control liver tumour rather than as a curative treatment. I have included a link to a highly recommended liver surgeon below.

Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md, has the best oncology department in the entire United States. In fact, they we are the top hospital in the nation for 18 years. i have seen many miracles in my time working here and people are cured of cancer here everyday. look into it. other than that i would look at www.clinicaltrials.gov. they have some really great experimental cancer treatments, i have been looking into those that involve dendritic cells because they are your own cells, programmed to kill cancer cells. look into it, get him into a trial.
