Selecting the best treatment for liver cancer depends on the physician being able to precisely identify the type, location, size and borders of the tumor or tumors. By matching that information to a variety of treatment possibilities and considering the benefits and limitations of each, the physician can select the best course of action. Key to this decision is the patient's condition and anticipated ability to tolerate the treatment.
