About the Procedure

What is Hepatic resection for liver cancer?

Hepatic resection is a major surgical procedure in which a portion of the liver containing a tumor is surgically removed, offering the best chance of cure for patients with primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) or select liver metastases. The extent of resection depends on tumor size, location, and the patient's remaining liver function. It is performed by specialized hepatobiliary surgical oncology teams in leading Indian hospitals equipped with advanced imaging and intensive care support.

Who may be considered?

Hepatic resection for liver cancer may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.

How does it work?

A traditional open surgery through an abdominal incision, used for larger tumors, complex resections, or when the tumor is close to major blood vessels.

2 approaches available for this procedure:

Open Hepatic Resection

Most Common

A traditional open surgery through an abdominal incision, used for larger tumors, complex resections, or when the tumor is close to major blood vessels.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: $500 - $1,200

Triphasic CT abdomen, liver MRI with contrast, liver function tests, viral hepatitis panel, tumor markers (AFP, CEA, CA 19-9), CBC, coagulation profile, ECG, echocardiogram, chest X-ray, ICG clearance test, pulmonary function test

Treatment / Procedure Estimate

Estimated cost in India: $9,000 - $16,000

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2-3 days
Hospitalisation: ~7-10 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~4-6 weeks recommended
Total stay: approx 3-4 weeks

Usually Included in Hospital Package

  • Surgeon and anesthesiologist fees
  • ICU and ward stay
  • Operation theatre charges
  • Standard medications during hospitalization
  • Basic post-op follow-up consultation

Usually Not Included

  • Pre-operative investigations and biopsy
  • Blood products/transfusions if required
  • Visa, travel, and accommodation for attendants
  • Post-discharge chemotherapy if needed
  • Any unforeseen ICU escalation or complications

Recovery and follow-up

Patients typically resume light activities within 3-4 weeks, with regular follow-up liver function tests and imaging every 3 months for the first year to monitor for recurrence. A tailored diet and gradual return to normal activity is advised under the surgical oncology team's guidance.

Risks

As with any major liver surgery, risks include bleeding, bile leakage, liver failure (especially in patients with underlying cirrhosis), infection, and, rarely, the need for further intervention. Careful pre-operative assessment of liver reserve helps minimize these risks.

Alternatives

Depending on tumor stage and liver function, alternatives may include liver transplantation, radiofrequency or microwave ablation, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), or systemic/targeted chemotherapy for patients unsuitable for surgery.

What we need to prepare a formal estimate

Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.

Reports required

  • Triphasic CT scan or MRI of the liver/abdomen
  • Liver function test (LFT) report
  • Viral hepatitis B and C serology
  • Tumor marker reports (AFP, CEA, CA 19-9)
  • Previous biopsy or histopathology report if done
  • CBC and coagulation profile
  • ECG and cardiac evaluation report
  • Any prior treatment records (chemotherapy, TACE, ablation)

Patient information needed

  • Age and general medical history
  • History of hepatitis B/C or cirrhosis
  • Details of tumor size, number, and location
  • Prior cancer treatments or surgeries
  • Current liver function status (Child-Pugh score)
  • Any comorbidities (diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease)
  • Current medications and allergies
  • Availability of an accompanying attendant during travel

Common questions

FAQs about Hepatic resection for liver cancer in Mumbai, India

What is Liver cancer?
Liver cancer is a malignant growth arising in the liver tissue, most often hepatocellular carcinoma developing on a background of chronic liver disease or cirrhosis. Less commonly, it may originate in the bile ducts within the liver (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) or spread to the liver from another primary site.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Liver cancer?
Early-stage liver cancer frequently causes no noticeable symptoms, which is why it is often found during surveillance of high-risk patients. When symptoms do appear they may include persistent upper-right abdominal pain or a sense of fullness, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), fatigue, or abdominal swelling from fluid accumulation. These symptoms overlap with many other liver and gastrointestinal conditions, so their presence alone is not sufficient to establish a diagnosis.
How is Liver cancer diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed clinical history and physical examination, followed by blood tests including liver function panels and tumour markers such as AFP. Cross-sectional imaging—most commonly multiphase contrast-enhanced CT or MRI—is central to characterising the lesion and is often sufficient for diagnosis in the context of cirrhosis using established criteria (such as LI-RADS or EASL guidelines). Staging—most commonly using the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) system—integrates tumour size, number, vascular invasion, liver function (Child-Pugh score), and performance status to guide treatment planning; a tissue biopsy is obtained when imaging findings are inconclusive.
How is Liver cancer treated?
Treatment is highly individualised and depends on tumour stage, underlying liver function, and the patient's overall health. Surgical options such as hepatic resection (surgical removal of the tumour-bearing portion of the liver) or liver transplantation offer the best chance of long-term disease control for eligible patients, while locoregional therapies—including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)—are used for patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery. Systemic therapies, including targeted agents such as sorafenib or lenvatinib and immunotherapy combinations, are options for advanced-stage disease.
Can Liver cancer be treated without a procedure?
Non-surgical pathways play a significant role in liver cancer management and are not limited to palliative intent. Locoregional treatments such as TACE, thermal ablation, or radioembolisation (SIRT) can achieve meaningful tumour control in intermediate-stage disease, and systemic targeted therapy or immunotherapy is the standard approach for advanced HCC. Active surveillance with regular imaging and AFP testing is an established strategy for very small, low-risk lesions identified in cirrhotic patients, with treatment initiated if the tumour progresses—all decisions are made on an individual basis by the treating team.
When is Hepatic resection for liver cancer considered for Liver cancer?
Hepatic resection for liver cancer may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Liver cancer?
Liver cancer is typically managed by a hepatobiliary or surgical oncologist who specialises in liver surgery, working within a multidisciplinary team that usually includes a hepatologist (liver physician), a medical oncologist, an interventional radiologist, and a radiation oncologist. In cases where transplantation is considered, a transplant hepatologist and transplant surgeon are also involved.
How do I choose a doctor for Liver cancer?
When selecting a provider, look for a surgeon or centre with documented experience in hepatic resection and liver cancer specifically, with access to a formal multidisciplinary tumour board, advanced imaging and locoregional treatment capabilities, and a clear plan for post-treatment surveillance and follow-up care.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
