When it comes to liver cancer and other gastrointestinal conditions, expert evaluation is vital to accurately diagnose liver cancer and then determine the best course of treatment for the individual patient.

At Hoag, our multidisciplinary team of gastrointestinal experts includes gastroenterologists, liver surgeons, liver transplant surgeons, medical oncologists, hepatologists and interventional radiologists who work together to thoroughly review and determine the best treatment option suited to each individual patient.
