Cost of treatment for advanced liver cancer

However, it should be noted that the cost of interventional treatment for liver cancer is currently covered by medical insurance, and the maximum reimbursement is about 70% of the total cost of the operation, so the cost of interventional treatment for liver cancer is relatively acceptable to people. Because in addition to surgical resection and liver transplantation, other ablation and interventional treatments may require repeated treatments, because liver cancer itself has a high recurrence rate. The cost of treating advanced liver cancer may range from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, depending on the patient's physical condition and the treatment method chosen.

What drugs are used for immunotherapy of liver cancer?

Pembrolizumab or nivolumab combined with lenvatinib, apatinib combined with carrelizumab, and oxaliplatin-based systemic chemotherapy combined with carrelizumab are recommended as first-line treatment options at level 3. Other targeted drugs for the treatment of liver cancer include regorafenib and lenvatinib. If sorafenib is not effective or the disease progresses, it can be replaced with regorafenib or lenvatinib. Immunotherapy can also be used clinically for patients with advanced liver cancer, especially after losing the opportunity for surgery or targeted therapy.

Can Traditional Chinese Medicine Cure Liver Cancer?

The treatment of liver cancer with traditional Chinese medicine is mainly based on syndrome differentiation, maximizing recovery and protecting the liver. The focus is not on eliminating the tumor, but on improving and improving the symptoms, so that the tumor is naturally stable or shrinks. As long as the syndrome differentiation and rational medication are used, there will be good results. Many liver cancer patients can disappear their liver cancer symptoms after using traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which can inhibit the spread of liver cancer cells, make patients disappear long-term stable symptoms, and be able to work and live independently. Traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on inhibiting the spread of tumors. For example, if liver pain, fever and ascites occur during the illness, taking traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect. It is best to choose a low-salt, low-sodium and low-fat diet. Traditional Chinese medicine cannot cure liver cancer.
