1. A large liver tumour removed completely

Liver Cancer patient case — A large liver tumour removed completely. Dr Harsh Shah, GI & cancer surgeon, Ahmedabad.
શું મોટી લિવર ગાંઠ પણ ઓપરેશનથી સંપૂર્ણ કાઢી શકાય?

A patient with a large (about 14 cm) but solitary liver cancer, good liver function and no spread underwent complete surgical removal with clear margins. A large liver tumour is not automatically inoperable — with good liver function it can often be completely removed.

2. Liver cancer caught early on surveillance of chronic liver disease

Liver Cancer patient case — Liver cancer caught early on surveillance of chronic liver disease. Dr Harsh Shah, GI & cancer surgeon, Ahmedabad.
क्या पुरानी लिवर की बीमारी में कैंसर समय पर पकड़ा जा सकता है?

A patient with chronic liver disease (hepatitis) had a liver cancer detected during regular monitoring. Because it was found early, it was completely removed with clear margins and negative nodes. Regular monitoring of chronic liver disease helps catch liver cancer at a treatable stage.

3. Robotic (doorbeen) liver surgery for a small tumour

Liver Cancer patient case — Robotic (doorbeen) liver surgery for a small tumour. Dr Harsh Shah, GI & cancer surgeon, Ahmedabad.
શું લિવરનું કેન્સર રોબોટિક દૂરબીન પદ્ધતિથી કાઢી શકાય?

A man in his 70s with cirrhosis had a small (about 2.7 cm) liver cancer. It was removed by a robotic (doorbeen) minimally-invasive operation, with discharge in about six days. Robotic liver surgery means small incisions and a faster recovery.

4. Advanced age is not automatically a barrier

Liver Cancer patient case — Advanced age is not automatically a barrier. Dr Harsh Shah, GI & cancer surgeon, Ahmedabad.
क्या बड़ी उम्र में भी लिवर कैंसर का ऑपरेशन संभव है?

A man in his 70s had a liver cancer confined to one area of the liver. It was removed surgically and he has remained free of recurrence so far. Advanced age alone is not a barrier — with a confined tumour and adequate liver function, complete removal is possible.

Frequently asked questions

Is a large liver tumour always inoperable?

No. If liver function is good and the tumour is confined, even a large liver cancer can often be completely removed.

Can liver surgery be minimally-invasive?

Yes — in selected patients, robotic (doorbeen) liver resection uses small incisions with a faster recovery.
