Pioneering treatment for liver cancer

Liver cancer treatment - Dr Tazio Pinelli's expert advice

A new treatment for liver cancer has been tested which works by removing the entire organ, administering radiotherapy and re-implanting it back into the body.

Dr Tazio Pinelli, Physicist who developed the treatment
