UPMC Liver Cancer Center

Pioneers in Liver Cancer Treatment

The UPMC Liver Cancer Center is led by a multidisciplinary health care team at the forefront of innovative treatments and fundamental research for liver cancer. UPMC surgeons are among the most experienced in the United States at performing minimally invasive (laparoscopic) liver surgery, which they pioneered. Only a handful of centers in the country offer this option for the treatment of liver tumors, which typically allows patients to recover faster and with less pain than traditional surgery.

For individuals whose cancers are inoperable, UPMC provides innovative therapies and ground-breaking clinical trials. UPMC’s novel therapies can cure a large number of patients or extend their lives, often by many years.

Depending on the patient’s general health, the health of the liver, tumor size and location, and other factors determined by the physician, treatment may include:

• Minimally Invasive or Traditional Surgery 
• Intrahepatic Chemotherapy  Chemoembolization
• Intrahepatic Pump Therapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
• Yttrium-90 Internal Radiation
• CyberKnife® Radiosurgery
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
• Liver Transplant Services
• Multi-Modality Approaches
• Complementary Strategies
• Clinical Trials
