What are the best treatments for liver cancer?

Liver cancer has a great impact on our lives, so while we should detect the disease in time, we should also consult some of the best treatments for liver cancer . What are the best treatments for liver cancer? The following materials analyze the treatments for liver cancer in detail.

1. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is a treatment method for liver cancer that uses various rays of different energies to irradiate the tumor to inhibit and kill cancer cells. Radiotherapy can reduce the tumor mass, relieve symptoms, and prolong life for primary liver cancer. It is mainly suitable for cases with good general condition, normal liver function, and localized tumors that cannot be removed. However, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can cause many toxic and side effects such as decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, so traditional Chinese medicine is often used in combination with liver cancer treatment methods to improve the cure rate of cancer.

2. Surgical treatment. There is no doubt that surgical treatment is the most effective treatment for early liver cancer. Early resection is the key to improving survival rate. The smaller the tumor, the higher the five-year survival rate. However, because liver cancer surgery is very traumatic and will cause damage to body tissues and loss of qi and blood after surgery, it is not suitable for the elderly, those with poor physical fitness, and those with heart, lung, kidney and other important organ diseases. If combined with comprehensive treatments such as Chinese medicine after surgery, better results can be achieved.

3. Chemotherapy: 95% of liver cancer patients have lost the chance of surgery when diagnosed, and most liver cancer patients still rely on chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is one of the main means of treating tumors and certain autoimmune diseases. It is a treatment method for liver cancer using chemical synthetic drugs.

4. Biological therapy: Biological therapy can be used to treat cancer independently or in combination with the other three treatment modes (surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy). It can reduce the suppression of immunity and eliminate the residual tumor cells. Biological therapy can achieve better results when combined with other methods as a means of treating liver cancer. Biological therapy is also a research topic for the treatment of liver cancer in the future.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine. Currently, traditional Chinese medicine is mostly used as an auxiliary treatment for liver cancer, such as combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy or used after liver cancer surgery to reduce adverse reactions and improve efficacy. Some traditional Chinese medicines are effective in strengthening the body to resist cancer, removing blood stasis and softening hard masses. They are suitable for patients with advanced liver cancer and those with severe liver decompensation who cannot tolerate other treatments. They can improve the body's overall condition and prolong life.
