Advances in Multidisciplinary Approach for Liver Cancer

Abstract

The collective effort of specialized individuals in every institution helps in contributing to the ultimate success. Malignant liver cells mimic similar actions of coordinated efforts through their unregulated multiplication subsequently resulting in multiorgan failure whence the third most common cause of cancer related mortality globally. Irrespective of the form of liver cancer in the patient, there are significant challenges to the patient, carers, and health professionals. Issues arise in line of decision making and implementation of the best management modality. Due to the complexity, and patient’s needs during metastatic processes, multidisciplinary input is a necessity for optimal outcomes. Complications arising from liver cancer tend to impair the patient’s functioning. To avert poor hastened outcomes for better prognosis, unique interventions should be from specialized professionals. Patients who are treated successfully may require rehabilitation therapy. In instances when liver cancer is incurable, the best quality of life should be maintained while on supportive chemotherapy with integration of palliative care.
