Pioneering treatment for liver cancer

Liver cancer treatment - Dr Tazio Pinelli's expert advice
Average rating: 4 out of 5 star rating

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. By explanting the organ, we could give a high and uniform dose to all the liver, which is impossible to obtain inside the body without serious risk to the patient.
Dr Tazio Pinelli, Physicist who developed the treatment
