A member asked:
Has anyone with liver cancer ever been cured with chemo therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Liver cancer is best treated with surgery, if caught early. Once it is inoperable, the treatments are mostly palliative and rarely curative. Unfortunately no chemotherapy drug has shown activity against Liver Cancer. So we have started exploring targeted therapies which, including Sorafenib, have provided modest degree of benefit and some increase in overall survival.
