Is Lever operable, if affected in certain portion, by Cancer cells ? Can affected portion be removed? |
Mother,70, is affected by Lever Cancer. What's the best option ?Can we cut Lever?WHERE TO BEST HER, in India? TATA, B'bay ? Has anyone gone there ? Easy there ? Appears to have spread. Whether it has also spread in other organs? A part of the liver can be removed if it is a localized tumor. Many people make it through that surgery rather well. At the age of 70, it could be tricky, but any surgery is a major deal. These kind of big masses of cancer spread can't be removed, since not enough healthy-even if the CT doesn't show cancer spread, chances are the other parts of the liver are already diseased, and will show later in time - liver will be left. Also it is not localised, and general health is very poor, so won't survive such a big operation which I think is not even technically possible. If the primary kidney cancer is of the so called clear cell type, palliative therapy with a so called biological Sumatinib is at present the way to go: will prolong life (with about six months) and better the quality of life, but very expensive, and is no cure. Interferon doesn't work. looks like rt renal tumour has recurred and has spread into liver.pretty advanced case.surgery doesnot seem to be an option.chemo isnot very usefull either. |
