(Published 12-12-07, Ivanhoe Newswire) The number of Americans diagnosed with liver cancer has doubled in the past decade. As many as 75,000 patients a year will be diagnosed with a liver cancer that has spread from another organ. But now, some surgeons are using a new method to remove diseased portions of the liver. It’s improving a patient’s odds, while cutting recovery time in half.
