He has since had whole gastric ligament removed surgically only 1 node positive but because it is a recurrence after liver transplant his Dr wants to put him in a Pallative type catagory and we are fighting for him to not do that because he deserves treatment .Zhe is strong enough for all the treatments. We think this Dr doesn't know how to handle Recurrence after liver transplant .So we are looking for more Experienced type Aggressive and Progressive type programs that see The Most Patients as in a High Volume Liver Transplant HCC Program . It is a hard complex diagnosis because its balancing losing the brand new liver graft ie rejection and providing treatment to kill the cancer and Many Drs/ Programs Are not Experienced enough to deal with these types of patients . But the Consensus guidelines state provide local regonalized treatments us systemic therapy for Tumor Burden control .So by his Dr Stateline he wasn't going g to do local treatments it would make my husband die sooner .This is a unacceptable strategy. So we are looking for a Top Oncologist Liver Transplant HCC Tecurrence AFTET SUCESSFUL LIVER TRANPLANT DR. If anyone knows of a Program that deals with Recurrence of Liver Cancer after Liver Transplant Wed be forever grateful for the Name of this Dr/Program My husband has no tumors his ECOG score is 0 his liver function is Wxcellent and he has No wide spread Mestatic disease So when his Dr said if anything pops up on his next MRI he would not treT it we were Dumb founded .How can he put a 61 yr old strong and fit man who Is Eligible for Surgery into a pallative systemic Only Yreatment Group . Hes only a Heptologist and keeps saying You do Not Need a Referral to an Oncoligist . I think we Definitely need an Oncologist .Can anyone recommend a top recurrence onxologist????
