With the advancement in medical technology, the success rate of liver transplants has also been improved.
The highest risk factor for liver cancer is a chronic infection of the hepatitis B and C virus.
Other factors are alcohol consumption, fatty liver, genetics, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, and exposure to aflatoxins.
The tests required for Liver cancer treatment are Blood tests, Ultrasound, Liver Biopsy, Computerized Tomography (CT) scan, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The cost of medical testing connected to the procedure is included in the treatment package.
It is included in the package during hospitalization, but if the patient purchases medications outside of the hospital, they are not covered by the package.
Most people who have had liver cancer surgery recover in six weeks or less; however, some people may take longer. Contact your surgeon if you experience pain and infection at the incision site, bile leakage, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, blood loss, pneumonia, and other complications. Any treatment beyond the surgery is not included in the package.
The length of hospitalization for liver cancer treatment is determined by the type of surgery performed. The hospital stay for a hepatectomy is approximately 6 days, with an additional 10 days outside the hospital, but a liver transplant surgery requires 22 days in the hospital and 40 days outside the hospital.
The majority of health insurance plans on the market today cover practically all serious illnesses, including liver cancer; these plans often only cover inpatient hospitalization and care received in all hospitals.
Hepatocellular carcinoma, a frequent kind of liver cancer, has been shown to be the most responsive to liver transplantation. The alternatives for liver cancer treatment are endovascular treatment and direct transcapsular access.
