Anita’s Battle with Metastatic Cancer:
“Colorectal cancer spread to my liver. After chemo and resection at Liver Surgeons, I’m back to my teaching career with no signs of disease!”
Mr. Kapoor’s Victory Over HCC:
“A 7 cm HCC tumor left me terrified. Dr. Ashish George’s Delhi team performed a robotic hepatectomy with PVE. Five years later, I’m cancer-free and running my business!”
For early-stage HCC, 80% survive 5+ years post-curative resection. Metastatic cases vary by origin but average 40–60% 3-year survival with combined chemo/surgery.
For tumors <3 cm, RFA achieves outcomes similar to surgery but with fewer complications. Dr. Ashish George’s Delhi team uses CT-guided RFA for precision.
Blocking blood flow to the tumor-bearing lobe triggers healthy lobe growth, reducing post-surgery liver failure risks.
No. Living donor transplants are contraindicated for HCC patients due to recurrence risks.
Eligibility depends on tumor size, location, and liver function. Dr. Ashish George’s Delhi team prioritizes patients with:
• Early-stage HCC (single tumor <5 cm or up to 3 tumors <3 cm).
• Adequate liver reserve (Child-Pugh A/B cirrhosis).
• No major blood vessel invasion.
Advanced imaging and portal vein embolization (PVE) expand options for borderline cases.
For minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic/robotic), recovery takes 4–6 weeks. Open hepatectomy requires 8–12 weeks. Our Delhi center’s Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols reduce pain and accelerate healing.
Pre-op chemo (e.g., FOLFOX for colorectal metastases) shrinks tumors in 50–60% of cases, enabling safer resection. Dr. Ashish George combines chemo with targeted therapies (bevacizumab) to maximize success rates.
Recurrence occurs in 20–30% of HCC cases. Our multidisciplinary team in Delhi monitors patients with:
• 3-monthly CT/MRI scans.
• AFP tumor marker tests.
• Salvage therapies like RFA, TACE, or immunotherapy for early detection.
