suspicious mass in the liver have to be investigated without delay.it depends on your mother's age and general health.If there are no associated illness it is worth during a battery of tests without delay .the more you wait the worse prognosis.i would do cbc ,LFT alb globulin and Alfafetoprotein straight away including chest film. if LFT andAFP is positive I will do CT orMRI the next day.Now treatment of hepatoma have many options you can start with radiofrequency or TACE is very effective it can reduce AFP from 500 down to 1.if ct or mri detect small lesions surgery is an option.the most important thing is early detection.if you can eliminated the primary completely and you liver function is generally quite satisfactory .liver transplantation is another option to make sure it does not comeback.in addition there are to chemotherapeutic agents approved by FDA for hepatoma with metastasis.
