All of the staff were so kind to me. They made me feel less scared and that was wonderful. They are all “good people.”
Many patients with liver cancer respond well to brachytherapy. With this treatment, radiation-containing microspheres are injected directly into tumors of the liver. They are implanted permanently, delivering the radiation treatment over a 14-day period. Brachytherapy selectively destroys cancerous cells, while preserving healthy liver cells.
Liver brachytherapy procedures are overseen by Dr. Andrew Kennedy, who is internationally-known for his push to re-establish microsphere therapy for liver cancer in the U.S.
Early stage liver cancer often has no symptoms. That's why it is sometimes called a "silent disease."
