Our experienced team understands how overwhelming a cancer diagnosis can be. That's why we offer not only leading-edge cancer treatment, but also access to a range of support services for you and your family, such as:
Your treatment options depend on the type of cancer you have, how far it has advanced and your overall health. This is why having a team of specialists is so important. We'll work with you and your family to ensure your unique treatment plan addresses all aspects of your health.
Tumor Removal Our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive liver resections. During this procedure, we remove the diseased portion of your liver laparoscopically through incisions as small as the tip of your finger. This minimally invasive approach reduces your pain, risk and recovery time.
Our doctors also use other minimally invasive therapies to remove or destroy liver tumors, including:
Transplants If you need a liver transplant, your care team will work in close collaboration with the doctors of the Transplant Surgery Service.
Drug Therapy Your treatment regimen may also include immunotherapy such as nivolumab. Nivolumab is the first immunotherapy approved for liver cancer and offers new hope to patients whose cancer has spread or who cannot undergo surgery. We also offer targeted drug therapy and or chemotherapy.
Clinical Trials In addition to standard treatments, our program offers access to promising new therapies through participation in clinical trials at Tufts MC and across the country. View our open trials >
Our team includes liver specialists (hepatologist), surgeons, radiologists, oncologists, dedicated nurses, nutritionists and social workers. Together, we work to provide personalized treatment for each and every one of our patients. We review each patients case at our Liver Tumor Board. For your convenience during appointments, you can see your entire care team in one location.
