A member asked:
What are treatment options for a 2.4 cm liver lesion seen via ultrasound in case it turns out to be malignent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type.: Even if it's a malignancy (cancer), the options for treatment can vary based on the type of cancer & it's cause. In general, cancers are treated by 1-3 of 3 modalities: 1) chemotherapy (delivered locally or systemic), 2) surgery (liver surgery is risky!), & 3) radiation therapy. There may be adjunct measures like alcohol cessation or antiviral medications if the cancer is result of a virus. TTYD.
