Inside, you'll find: Understanding liver cancer: HCC vs. cholangiocarcinoma vs. metastases-what you have determines what comes next. Testing & diagnosis: Which scans and labs matter most, and how to read reports without panic. Curative options-surgery & transplant: Who qualifies, how ERAS recovery works, what Milan and expanded criteria mean, and the role of living donors and downstaging. Local & regional therapies: Ablation, TACE, Y-90 radioembolization, SBRT-when they're used, how they're combined, and what recovery looks like. Systemic treatments: Immunotherapy and targeted agents explained, including what to expect in the first weeks and how/when to switch. Whole-person care: Nutrition with cirrhosis, exercise for stamina, sleep, stress, pain, and integrative options-because thriving is part of treatment, not an afterthought. Real patient paths: Short, relatable stories that show different routes to ""no evidence of disease"" and what success feels like from the inside. A 90-day action plan: Turn overwhelm into next steps you can take now. Throughout, the book keeps you firmly in charge-equipping you to captain a multidisciplinary team and weigh tradeoffs with honesty and hope.: contentReference[oaicite:10] Hope here isn't wishful thinking; it's matching the right tool to the right person, with today's advances in local therapies, surgery, transplant selection, and immunotherapy.
