Liver Cancer Treatment

Question: What is the best treatment for liver cancer (in its advanced stage)? My uncle's got it and hes in a really bad condition . . .we are in india and we need to know which is the best hospital (even if its abroad) for cancer treatment. Please do provide any info if u got any

Answer: The truth is that if your uncle has advanced stage liver cancer then he is probably going to die quite soon, regardless of what hospital he is being treated in. I suggest that you value your time with him, try to make his passing easy and quit worrying about trying to find him treatment in the US. Even baseball superstar Mickey Mantle could not get additional treatment in US hospitals once his liver cancer had reached an advanced stage. http://www.hospicenet.org/html/preparing_for.html
