Hi, How are you? My name is Dr Suresh Raghavaiah. I am a liver and pancreas cancer specialist and I hope to answer your question today. I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Hepatitis C causes cirrhosis of the liver and is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). One thing you have not mentioned in your details is your age as this will have a bearing on the type of treatment you will be offered. The treatment of HCC depends on the size of the tumor and the state of the residual liver. if you do not have any other symptoms of liver cirrhosis, then liver surgery can be safely offered to you and teh cancer surgically resected. But if you do have symptoms of Liver cirrhosis, then unfortunately it means that the residual liver will not be sufficient. UIN this scenario, Liver transplant offers the only chance of getting rid of the disease. this will also have the added advantage of getting rid of the old cirrhotic liver and leave you with a healthy liver. Please do get back to me with details like your age, Liver function test reports and your geographical location so I can guide you better. Hope this helps and hope you start to feel better. Please do not hesitate to get back to me for any clarifications. have a good day Dr Suresh Raghavaiah
