 I am Dr. Olyth Selvan, Consultant Heptologist and Chairman Division of Liver Transplantation in Manipal Hospital. The treatment of liver cancer depends on the stage at which the liver cancer is diagnosed. It does also depend on the stage of the liver disease and the physical condition of the patient. But overall, if you diagnose the patient early when the lesion is small, there is every chance that you can cure the patient by either doing a liver transplant or a liver resection. On the other hand, as commonly happens, if patient presents you with symptoms and you diagnose it late, it's invariably an in-stage process where you can only give palliative measures and the treatment outcome is not good.
