Current detection methods are struggling to keep up with the evolving causes of HCC. With that, Dr Huang is exploring more effective and personalised ways to identify individuals with a high risk of liver cancer through the use of blood-based biomarkers.

Our team of medical experts led a successful liver transplant for Falisha, who was just two years old when she was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and later, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). PSC is a rare and severe liver disease characterised by persistent inflammation, destruction and scarring of the bile ducts, with no known cure. Treatment primarily involves managing symptoms and complications or addressing end-stage liver damage through liver transplantation. Fortunately for Falisha, she was able to receive a transplant from an altruistic donor. Today at 14 years old, she lives a fulfilling childhood.

The technique involves injecting a gel-like substance into the space between the prostate and rectum, to act as a physical barrier to protect the rectum from unwanted radiation exposure during treatment.
