The treatment that holds the greatest potential for curing this patient's health problem depends on the stage of the hepatocellular carcinoma. If the cancer is localized and has not spread to other parts of the body, the best treatment option would be surgical removal of the tumor. If the cancer has spread beyond the liver or if the patient is not a candidate for surgery, other treatment options include liver transplantation, ablation therapy, embolization therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these therapies. However, in some cases, hepatocellular carcinoma may not be curable, and treatment may focus on relieving symptoms and prolonging life. The best course of action should be determined by the patient's healthcare team based on the specific details of his case.
