After a hep c diagnosis, then a liver biopsy of cancer. how long to live?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liver biopsy: Liver cancer is a serious cancer and needs to be treated quickly and aggressively. The prognosis depends on a number of factors, including the size, precise location and local/distant spread of the tumor. The oncologist would be able to provide more precise information given the specific details of a case.
