Your Experience at BIDMC
If you have been diagnosed with a liver tumor, or your doctor suspects a liver tumor, what can you expect at BIDMC? We work together with your referring physician to rapidly and efficiently establish (or confirm) your diagnosis and to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Since not all masses in the liver are cancers, it is important to establish the correct diagnosis early. Some cancers, such as primary hepatocellular carcinoma, can be cured if detected and treated at an early stage. Therefore, our goal is to review your case and to see you in our clinic within two weeks of your referral. We also offer second opinions and/or long-term follow-up care.
In all cases, you can trust us to provide:
- State-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment, including clinical trials
- Multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment from a team of experienced and compassionate physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals working on your behalf
- Patient-focused and customized care, to respect your personal preferences and wishes
Our doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals at BIDMC will help you learn about:
- Your cancer diagnosis, the tests you will have, and any necessary preparations
- The procedure or operation you will need
- Your recovery period, medications, returning home and much more
Our Liver Center providers are in one dedicated location, so it is easier and more comfortable for you to access services and receive care. Our multidisciplinary Liver Tumor Group combines the knowledge and expertise of many healthcare specialists to provide the best treatment options and care plan for you. We meet each week to review cases and plan for subsequent clinic visits.
