Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents one of the numerous types of liver malignancy. It is capable of producing symptoms such as abdominal pain, weight reduction, and a sense of fatigue. The advanced stage of HCC is difficult to cure, however, Pembrolizumab injection is a remedy. It is a form of chemotherapy that accelerates the immune system to combat the tumor. An oncologist measures the success rate for the patient, as it is different for everyone, hence, they will prescribe a tailor-made treatment.

Female | 29

It looks like you have a lesion on your liver. Hepatic adenoma or hepatic hemangioma is what this can be. Liver lesions could cause pain. Treatment will depend on the specific kind of lesion. Sometimes all that is needed is watching the lesion over time. In other cases, surgery might be required among other procedures. Make sure to follow up with your doctor so that the best plan can be made for you.

There is 19 months old girl from Ethiopia. Diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma. Completed 5 cycles of chemo. Referred abroad for surgical resection and possible liver transplant. We are planning to take her to India. Where is the best surgical oncology center in India? How much it will cost us? What is your advice? Thank you!

The choice between resection and transplant depends on the assessment of response. The patient & the scans will have to be assessed and then a decision will have to be made. 
The cost will vary from hospital to hospital and the procedure
