Thanks for your question on HCM.
When liver cancer spreads and involves distal organs like lungs, kidneys, bones, peritoneum etc than it is considered as stage 4 liver cancer.
And it is inoperable and incurable. We can only give palliative chemotherapy and supportive treatment.
You can consult oncologist for further treatment.
He needs PET scan to rule out distal metastases.
So palliative chemotherapy and nutritional and pain management is the only option.
Stage 4 liver cancer is inoperable and incurable. .
I find this answer helpful
