Short answer

Liver cancer (HCC) offers many tools — resection, ablation, transarterial therapies, targeted drugs, immunotherapy — and picking the right sequence for your liver function is the art. Chinese PLA General Hospital (301) and Beijing Cancer Hospital run nationally leading hepatobiliary programs.

Overview

Hepatocellular carcinoma usually grows on a chronic liver disease background (hepatitis B/C, fatty liver), so every decision balances killing tumor against preserving liver. Options span surgery, thermal ablation for small tumors, TACE/HAIC transarterial therapies, and modern systemic combinations (immunotherapy + anti-VEGF) that have transformed advanced disease.

In Beijing

Chinese PLA General Hospital (301) houses one of China's most renowned hepatobiliary surgery programs; Beijing Cancer Hospital leads in interventional and systemic therapy. China's hepatitis-B burden made its centers unusually experienced in exactly this cancer.

Typical costs

  • Liver MRI (contrast): from about $320 · CT: from $250
  • Written multidisciplinary plan: from $400
  • Procedures and drug courses: individual quote

Liver Cancer — frequently asked questions

Which treatment is best for liver cancer?

＋

It depends on tumor size and number, vascular involvement, and how well your liver works (Child-Pugh score). That's why HCC decisions belong to multidisciplinary teams — a written Beijing MDT opinion (from $400) lays out the sequence that fits your scans and labs.
