Multidisciplinary Liver (hepatoma) Tumor Clinic

Providing team-based treatment and support to all patients

Jorge Marrero, M.D., Director

The Multidisciplinary Liver (hepatoma) Tumor Clinic provides a multidisciplinary approach for those diagnosed with hepatic (liver) malignancies such as:

• primary liver cancer
• adenocarcinoma liver
• liver tumors of known or unknown origin
• late-stage or metastatic liver cancer
• cholangiocarcinoma or bile duct cancer
• hilar cholangiocarcinoma
• klatskin tumor

Patients referred to the clinic are seen during a single visit by physicians from all of the appropriate disciplines, including:

• Surgeons specializing in diseases of the liver
• Liver specialists
• Medical oncologists
• Radiation oncologists adept at stereotactic radiotherapy (precisely aimed beams of radiation) for liver tumors
• Transplant surgeons

Following an evaluation with the surgeon and/or hepatologist (liver specialist), the case will be reviewed by our multidisciplinary tumor board. This group meets once a week to discuss every patient who comes through our doors. A room full of experts - specialists in treating liver cancer specifically - sit together to talk through the best treatment options, including clinical trials, for each individual. Patients get the benefit of not just one opinion but more than two dozen expert opinions.
