Is Treating The Adenoclast Cancer In Liver With Chemo And Radiation Safe?

My wife had her gal bladder removed. When the surgeon removed the gall bladder he noticed something on her liver and he removed it and took a biopsy. It came back as adenoclast cancer. We have had upper gi, lower gi, CT Scan, Pet scan. Breast with biopsy. Results were no cancer in a primary location. Did find in the pet scan a very small light up on the liver in the field where the biopsy occured. Onacologist now wants to treat the spot with chemo and radiation. We are looking for an alternative.

Thank you for the question .Adenoca in liver confirmed by biopsy means it has to be treated. Some liver surgeons prefer partial hepatectomy if it is localized in liver and not spread any where, which can be done by Pet scan, cholangiography and some other tests, while some prefer chemo and irradiation, thermo ablation of mass. i would suggest you to consult Onco surgeon specialized in liver surgey/gastro-enterology. Prognosis may be still fair if there is no local spread
