Innovative Treatment in Liver Cancer
Liver cancer is particularly complex type of disease to treat. When a patient is diagnosed with liver cancer, they are looking for alternative options that are possible to them and here at the Mayo Clinic, we are always trying to stretch that boundary. It allows us to put the best interests of the patient front and center so that we can take care of patients. We can develop new tools to diagnose and treat patients and really provide hope for these patients with liver cancer. There have been a large number of advances in the care of patients with both primary and secondary liver cancers. Mayo Clinic has been a pioneer in the application of pencil beam technology, and this affords the ability in the right patients to be able to use radiation therapy with minimal side effects. Mayo Clinic has a large program investigating drugs that are still in clinical trials that can be accessed by patients for the care of their liver cancer. If a patient is not a candidate for surgery, we will work in interventional oncology to try to remodel the liver to make that patient a candidate for surgery. If the patient cannot have a perspective, then we'll do our best approaches to identify a pattern of disease which we know that traditionally may not have benefited from surgery, but that can benefit from local therapies and interventional oncology. Our Tumor Board is really the central focus of our patient-centered activity. It's where we make the most decisions. The greatest thing is getting that room together of really national and international experts in all aspects of liver cancer care together to really discuss what the best treatment options are for each individual patient and then how to enact that plan with their local providers. And ultimately, our biggest goal is to try to bring a patient to a curative intent when possible, and to optimize quality of life across all treatment regimens that we provide.
