Suggest Treatment For Liver Metastasis
Question: We were called and
Iearned late yesterday my daughter has been diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer. They believe the kidney is not the primary source and the colon is. She is having a colonoscopy tomorrow. She is at the university of Minnesota hospitals. Then, based on all her tests and scans they will recommend the cancer drug and treatment plan.
I have been reviewing a number of treatment centers and hospitals throughout the country and treatment success. There appears to be a number of different types of cancer drugs and treatment plans. Also, many of the centers have been rated higher than others with success.
Will you tell us what the best cancer drugs and treatment plans are, including the newest, that are recommended for the type of cancer my daughter has?

Brief Answer:
Hello. Options are few.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have read the details. So in her case options are combination chemo with either a folfox protocol(5fu, oxali and leuucovorin drugs) or a folfiri( 5fu, irinotecan, leucovorin) protocol. Along with it a target drug can be added, it can be either avastin or erbitux. These are ths best drugs available. Any of the combination folfox plus avastin, folfox plus erbitux, folfiri pkus avastin or folfiri plus erbitux is equally efficacious.
Thanks and regards
