Options for The Treatment of Liver Cancer
At Sunridge, we approach liver cancer with aggressive treatments that increase the natural response of the body’s immune system to fight cancer and tumors. Continued studies and new evidence show that targeting cancer with tumor-specific antigens may just be the most effective way to treat cancer without toxicity. These types of therapies, introduced systemically into the body, successfully localize to the cancerous tumors in the central nervous system, inducing the good cells or (T-Cells) to destroy cancer without side effects or damage to the surrounding tissue.
Liver cancer occurs when a malignant tumor grows within the liver, which is the largest organ in the body and essential for life. It is located near the rib cage for protection in the upper part of the abdomen and performs many vital functions such as digestion, detoxification, and regulation of blood proteins. The liver also helps in countless metabolic functions as it stores and then disposes substances such as drugs, carbohydrates, protein and toxins.
