About Hepatobiliary Cancer

Hepatobiliary cancer treatment involves a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach led by an oncologist to manage cancers of the liver, bile ducts, and gallbladder. This is not a single procedure but a coordinated treatment plan that may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The specific strategy is tailored to the cancer type, stage, and the patient's overall health. The goal is to eliminate or control the cancer, relieve symptoms, and improve quality of life. Oncologists work closely with surgeons, radiologists, and other specialists to provide personalized care, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools and the latest therapeutic options to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients.
