- Program Summary
- For hepatocellular carcinoma, we tailor the treatment to the stage of progression, using the best methods like radiofrequency/microwave ablation, arterial chemoembolisation, systemic drug therapy, or liver chemotherapy. Sometimes, advanced multidisciplinary treatment is the way to go.
For biliary tract and pancreatic cancers, we ensure an accurate diagnosis using ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. After that, we provide the right chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. We also frequently perform endoscopic treatments for bile duct strictures and gastrointestinal obstructions.
