Liver Cancer

According to the physicians and nurses advising the American Cancer Society, treatment of liver cancer depends on the size of the tumor and whether there is cirrhosis.

People without cirrhosis can do well if the tumor is removed or with treatments that destroy the tumor without surgery (such as injecting them with alcohol or heating them to high temperatures in a procedure called radiofrequency ablation).

In general, cancer-related alternative medicine refers to therapies, such as mistletoe or coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10)*, that may be used instead of conventional treatments. Complementary or integrative medicine, on the other hand, usually means therapies used in conjunction with traditional treatments.
