Expert Care for Liver Tumors by Dr. Aakash Patel
Liver tumors can be a significant health challenge, impacting the liver's important role in digestion, detoxification, and nutrient storage. These tumors can either be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), with the latter having the potential to spread to other parts of the body. Whether benign or malignant, liver tumors can severely affect liver functions and, without timely treatment, can lead to further complications. Dr. Aakash Patel, a highly skilled Vascular and Interventional Radiologist in Ahmedabad, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of liver tumors, offering advanced care tailored to each patient’s unique condition.
What Are Liver Tumors?
Liver tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the liver. The liver is responsible for essential functions like digestion, detoxification, and the storage of nutrients. Tumors in this organ can interfere with these vital functions and lead to serious health issues.
Benign liver tumors are non-cancerous growths that usually do not spread to other parts of the body. These tumors might not cause immediate health risks, but they still require proper monitoring and treatment to ensure they do not grow or create other complications.
On the other hand, malignant liver tumors are cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer, typically developing in patients who suffer from chronic liver conditions like cirrhosis or hepatitis.
Symptoms of Liver Tumors
Liver tumors may not always present obvious symptoms in the early stages. As the tumor grows, however, individuals may experience various symptoms that could indicate liver problems. These include:
- Weakness and tiredness
- Pain in the abdomen
- Swelling of the abdomen
- Pain in the right shoulder
- Appetite loss and feeling sick
- Weight loss
- Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
- Pale bowel motions
Diagnosis of Liver Tumors
A precise diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Dr. Aakash Patel uses a variety of diagnostic tools to identify liver tumors and assess their size, location, and nature (benign or malignant). Common diagnostic procedures include:
- Weakness and tiredness: A common symptom affecting overall energy levels.
- Pain in the abdomen: Discomfort or pain in the abdominal area.
- Swelling of the abdomen: Caused by a build-up of fluid, known as ascites.
- Pain in the right shoulder: Often referred pain from the liver or surrounding areas.
- Appetite loss and feeling sick: A decreased desire to eat and feelings of nausea.
- Weight loss: Unintended loss of body weight due to various factors.
- Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice): A sign of liver dysfunction or bile flow obstruction.
- Pale bowel motions: Stools that appear lighter in color than normal.
Advanced Treatment Options for Liver Tumors
Dr. Aakash Patel utilizes the latest advancements in the field of interventional radiology to treat liver tumors effectively. His treatment approach involves the use of minimally invasive techniques that offer less pain, quicker recovery, and fewer risks compared to traditional surgeries. Some of the primary treatment options for liver tumors include:
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
One of the most effective treatments for liver tumors, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) uses high-frequency electrical currents to generate heat, which is directed at the tumor to destroy the cancerous cells. This procedure is minimally invasive and is guided by imaging techniques such as ultrasound or CT scans.
Microwave Ablation
During this treatment, a thin needle is inserted into the tumor, delivering microwaves that effectively target and destroy aberrant cells. This innovative approach offers patients a precise and effective option for managing liver tumors, providing hope for improved outcomes and quality of life. Dr. Patel's expertise in Microwave Ablation makes sure patients receive advanced care adjusted to their specific needs.
