The American Cancer Society recommends the following:

After liver cancer is diagnosed and staged, the cancer care team can recommend your treatment options. Choosing a treatment plan is a major decision, so it is important to take time and think about your choices.

In creating your treatment plan, an important factor to consider is the stage (extent) of the cancer. But you and your cancer care team will also want to take into account your age, general state of health, and personal preferences.

If time permits, it may be a good idea to seek a second opinion, especially from doctors experienced in treating liver cancer. A second opinion might provide more information and help you feel more confident about the treatment plan being considered.
