Multidisciplinary Opinion
Liver cancer is a complex disease that requires several different kinds of treatment. The Liver Cancer Second Opinion Program includes a full team of physicians who specialize in different aspects of liver cancer care — surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, hepatologists, interventional radiologists and other specialists.
These physician experts work together to design a comprehensive treatment plan for every patient.

For many patients, coordinated care can increase the chance of a positive first-time treatment outcome with less chance of recurrence.
