-Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your quarry. Considering your description this is 4,stage of liver carcinoma and prognosis is generally very poor, unfortunately. There is no possibly for surgical resection of course and all other treatments are palliative measures. These include chemotherapy, ethanol injections, RACE and others but all these may carry some risk for complications and may prolong life only for few weeks or few months, not more. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
