Treatment methods for advanced liver cancer

The incidence of liver cancer is very high in today's society. Many people's lives and health are seriously affected by liver cancer, especially some patients with advanced liver cancer who have to endure the double torture of illness and treatment. So how should patients with advanced liver cancer be treated?

For patients with advanced liver cancer, chemotherapy can be said to be the most important treatment. However, since it is in the advanced stage, it is obviously not easy to completely cure the tumor. For most patients, they may have to live with the tumor. Some people believe that this "bomb" that remains in the body must be continuously attacked and suppressed. As long as liver cancer continues, chemotherapy will not stop. However, some people also say that overtreatment is worse than too little.

Chemotherapy is the main treatment for patients with advanced liver cancer. Generally, after 4 to 6 courses of treatment, if the tumor is under control, which is what doctors call benefit, chemotherapy is stopped and not continued. Wait until the tumor shows signs of rising before taking further action, such as choosing second-line chemotherapy or other palliative treatments.

The reason why chemotherapy cannot be over-treated is that if chemotherapy is continued, it may not remove the tumor more thoroughly. Instead, it may induce the tumor to develop drug resistance and cause immunosuppression. More obviously, the toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs may continue to accumulate and intensify, which is not conducive to the patient's survival.

The above content mainly talks about the treatment methods of advanced liver cancer. In fact, for any disease, treatment is one aspect, but the most critical thing is the patient's mentality. It is recommended that friends who are already in the advanced stage of liver cancer must pay attention to their mentality and be positive and optimistic in normal times.
