Hi, Thanks for writing in. I suppose your mother had a hepatocellular cancer in the liver and the doctors at TMH did a liver resection procedure. Liver resection is done for small tumors that can be managed operatively. However, cancers of liver might reappear within months. A close watch is to be kept with post operative screening done for her. It will help to take her to the tata doctors and get an opinion after doing required testing on the present state of disease. You have written about the liver swelling up. This needs to be evaluated in detail and alternate treatments keeping in mind the survival of the patient must be started. Liver transplant is still in early stages in India and it is not easy to find a transplant liver and this must be done only if the patient if fit to accept another liver. There are criteria for liver transplantation and cancer patients in advanced stage might not be physically fit to withstand and accept a new liver. The cost is around 20 lakhs rupees and even after surgery there is requirement of life long medicine and regular monitoring.
