The diagnosis of liver cancer is devastating news for a patient. Time is of the essence and the patient wants to begin treatment as soon as possible. The Liver Center at MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando was established to care for patients with all types of liver cancer. Patients are seen promptly and a single day evaluation incorporates resources for the education, diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. The experienced team of physicians offers a variety of multidisciplinary treatment options and strives to offer hope in a realistic and compassionate manner.
Extraordinary Care
- With the addition of the new Liver Center at MD Anderson Orlando, we are one of only a few medical institutions in the United States to have a program dedicated solely to those with liver cancer.
- The Liver Center is under the guidance of Mark Roh, MD. For 23 years he has specialized in treating patients with liver tumors and was the former Chief of Liver Tumor Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando in Houston Texas. Since 1992, he has been annually selected as one of The Best Doctors in America®.
- MD Anderson - Orlando represents the combined strengths of Orlando Health and MD Anderson in Houston.
- Through clinical trials and our integrated programs in treatment, research and education, we ensure that each patient has the best possible care available today.
- To us, people are more than their cancer symptoms – compassion, diagnosis and treatment go hand-in hand.
