The Creekside Cancer Care Center in Lafayette, Colorado recently acquired a modern and most advanced radio surgery treatment for cancer, the Cyberknife VSI System. This addition will enable the cancer facility center more options to treat cancer. One such state-of-the-art treatment is the Cyberknife Treatment for liver cancer.
Liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates from the liver. The liver is an organ that resembles the size of a football. It is located on the upper right side of the abdomen, just beneath the diaphragm. Though it is considered as one of the most common forms of cancer all over the world, the disease seems to be alien in the United States. However, the rates of diagnosis are slowly increasing.
Most diagnosis in the US show that the cancer that usually occurs in the liver didn't originate in the liver, rather it began from another organ like the colon, breast, or lung. Experts has another name for it, metastatic cancer, and the disease is usually named after the organ where the disease originated; e.g. metastatic lung cancer which is used to describe the cancer that started in the lung and has spread to the liver.
Doctors have not really traced what are the causes of liver cancer. However, there are cases that are linked to a certain disease, like chronic infection with hepatitis is known to cause liver cancer.
The early stages of the disease do not show symptoms. If symptoms start to manifest, these may include the following:
The following are some of the factors that increase the risk of developing liver cancer:
The most common treatment for liver cancer is transplant. However, there are other treatments that are available like chemotherapy, proton beam therapy, and ablation. As mentioned earlier, there is a new and advanced treatment called the Cyberknife Treatment for Liver Cancer that is already available.
This non-invasive, radio surgery treatment is a breakthrough in the treatment of cancer. Cyberknife Treatment for Liver Cancer offers a high-tech treatment that is effective. This special treatment can utilize higher doses of radiation because it is equipped with precise rays targeting system.
One sure-fire benefit of Cyberknife Treatment for Liver Cancer is that it doesn't result in complications, unlike the more common open surgery. The treatment also ensures that patients will have an unchanged quality of living while under treatment and after the completing the treatment.
Since the treatment is painless, there is no need to use anesthesia, thereby decreasing the risk of getting complications as a result of anesthesia and post-surgery bleeding.
The Colorado Cyberknife Cancer Facility gives cancer patients a better alternative treatment that is sure to bring positive results.
