Angiosarcoma of liver - please help! urgent!!

krishere82

Hi all,

My friend has tumors on his liver which are quite big and one of them ruptured about two months ago. That was taken care of by embolization, but he was diagnosed with angiosarcoma of liver. He has also consulted Dr.Ravi at MD Anderson in Houston and he suggested chemotherapy for entire body. The oncologist in Dallas (where we are located) has said that he is wanting to just chemo the tumors on my friend's liver alone. But that treatment has been denied by Aetna.

My friend is in a dilemma as to if he should be doing chemo for entire body as suggested by MD Anderson or having chemo done only to the liver would be a better idea. Although the chemo for liver alone is going to be too expensive as insurance is not covering it.

I see some of you guys have treated of the liver angiosarcoma with RFA. Can you please tell me which doctor suggested that in MD Anderson?

This is kinda urgent, so any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance and wish everyone good health.
