Hepatic arterial chemotherapy infusion allows chemotherapeutic agents to be delivered directly into the liver tumor,limiting systemic side effects.Surgery is not usually successful because the cancer is frequently widespread when detected.Transplant is considered only for primary liver tumors that have not metastasized.The lack of successful treatments is due not to rarity,but rather to the fact that generally the cancer has already spread when found.
