Comprehensive Liver Cancer Treatment

Our innovative treatments and novel therapies can cure a large number of people with liver cancer, or extend their lives, often by many years.

Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) liver surgery: UPMC is one of only a handful of centers in the United States to offer minimally invasive liver surgery for treating liver tumors. This technique typically allows people to recover faster and with less pain than traditional surgery.
Pioneers in liver cancer treatment: UPMC surgeons are among the most experienced in the United States at performing minimally invasive liver surgery, which they pioneered.
Innovative treatment options for liver cancer: To insure the well-being of the whole patient, the course of treatment includes comprehensive clinical services, psychological care, counseling, and a pain service.

The UPMC Liver Cancer Center has the expertise and technology to diagnose and treat the full range of liver conditions.

We provide treatment options for people with:

primary liver cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, bile duct cancer, and gallbladder cancer
metastatic cancer to the liver, such as metastatic colon cancer
benign (noncancerous) liver masses
chronic liver diseases, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis
