Liver Tumor Center

A Multidisciplinary Team Approach

As shocking and overwhelming as hearing the words, “You have a liver tumor,” are for patients, hearing the words, “We know how to treat this,” are just as comforting and reassuring.

At the Johns Hopkins Medicine Liver Tumor Center, we offer patients a multidisciplinary team of experts who see patients with liver, gallbladder, and bile duct cancer and tumors during a one-day comprehensive evaluation. Patients see all of our specialists and receive a comprehensive assessment that same day.

Learn about your treatment options for liver cancer and cancer that has spread to the liver. Dr. Timothy Pawlik discusses treatment options available at Johns Hopkins and demonstrates each with patient case stories. Watch the webinar now.
