Traditional Chinese medicine can improve the quality of life of patients with liver cancer

A 57-year-old male patient had upper gastrointestinal bleeding half a month ago, but the hospital examination found liver cancer, accompanied by cirrhosis ascites and portal vein cancer thrombus. No surgical treatment was taken, only symptomatic supportive treatment. What good ways can be used to prolong survival and improve quality of life?

Judging from the patient's current condition, the disease is quite serious. If the patient is in good physical condition, surgery can still be considered at this time, but chemotherapy after surgery is not recommended because chemotherapy has serious side effects, especially serious damage to the liver.

It is better for liver cancer patients to consolidate their treatment through traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has fewer side effects and patients are generally able to accept it. Moreover, most cancer patients can generally relieve pain, prolong life, and improve their quality of life by taking traditional Chinese medicine. For example, some physical discomfort after surgery can be treated with symptomatic medication through traditional Chinese medicine.
