Experts analyze the most common methods of treating liver cancer

In order to minimize the mortality rate of liver cancer patients, it is very important to scientifically choose the treatment method for liver cancer. After all, only the correct treatment method for liver cancer can help patients control the disease in time and reduce the damage caused by liver cancer. What are the common treatment methods for liver cancer ? The following is a list of common treatment methods for liver cancer.

In general, the common treatments for liver cancer are:

1. Surgical treatment. This method of treating liver cancer depends on the patient's condition. Different patients have different surgical methods. In recent years, due to the update and progress of early diagnosis, localization diagnosis, tumor biology and some concepts of liver cancer surgery, the effect of surgical treatment of liver cancer has been significantly improved. Various local treatments during surgery for unresectable tumors: intraoperative chemotherapy and ligation of the hepatic artery and portal vein; implantable infusion pump infusion chemotherapy; intraoperative implantable microwave radiation therapy; intraoperative cryotherapy; intraoperative electrochemical therapy; tamoxifen plus liver perfusion chemotherapy; sequential treatment of liver cancer.

2. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is also a common method for treating liver cancer. It is generally required after surgery. In recent years, with the progress of research in radiation physics and radiation physiology, radiotherapy equipment has been developed. The use of cobalt 60 gamma rays or X-rays and high-energy rays from electron linear accelerators has also improved the irradiation methods and ranges of liver cancer. From the original whole liver irradiation-local irradiation-whole liver mobile radiotherapy-surgical positioning local irradiation and hyperfractionated irradiation, the radiotherapy effect of liver cancer has been significantly improved, and the side effects have been reduced to the lowest level. This method of treating liver cancer mainly includes external radiotherapy and internal radiotherapy. In the past, chemotherapy for liver cancer was not highly evaluated, especially the effect of systemic administration was very limited. In recent years, the route of chemotherapy administration has been changed, and hepatic artery chemotherapy and embolization have been performed, which has significantly improved the chemotherapy effect of liver cancer. It is currently believed that intubation chemotherapy is better than systemic combined chemotherapy, and combined chemotherapy is better than single-drug chemotherapy. Hepatic artery intubation chemotherapy is considered to be the best treatment for patients with liver cancer who are not suitable for surgery.

The above are some common methods for treating liver cancer. I hope they will be helpful to you. If you have liver cancer, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease and causing irreversible consequences for liver cancer patients.
