What causes liver cancer

There are many causes of liver cancer, including hepatitis. If hepatitis is not cured for a long time or is not treated, the long-term stimulation of hepatitis will cause the patient's disease to evolve into liver cancer. If the diagnosis is early, it is recommended to treat as early as possible. In the early and middle stages, and in the absence of metastasis, surgical treatment can be taken to remove the cancer and lesions in the liver, followed by postoperative biological treatment, chemotherapy, etc. Food and drinking water, long-term and large amounts of drinking can lead to alcoholic liver disease, and on this basis, liver cancer can be caused.

How long can a patient with liver cancer and cancer thrombus live?

Late-stage liver cancer with portal vein cancer thrombus can be treated with interventional therapy. The treatment can temporarily shrink the tumor, appropriately relieve the patient's clinical symptoms and reduce pain, but it cannot completely cure liver cancer. When liver cancer has cancer thrombus, it is usually liver cancer combined with portal vein cancer thrombus. Generally speaking, radical surgical resection is the first choice for liver cancer, combined with postoperative intervention or radiofrequency ablation treatment, in order to improve the patient's cure rate. If liver cancer has portal vein cancer thrombus, vena cava cancer thrombus, and hepatic vein cancer thrombus, it means that the tumor is in the advanced stage.

Is interventional treatment necessary after liver cancer surgery?

Patient, according to your description, interventional therapy is currently one of the treatments for liver cancer. It is done by inserting a thin and soft catheter into the arterial cavity from the femoral artery at the root of the right thigh under local anesthesia, and sending the end of the catheter to the nutrient artery of liver cancer, and then sending vascular embolism and chemotherapy drugs into the liver cancer to kill cancer cells. Postoperative residual or escaped micro-lesions are just in the active stage about one month after surgery, and interventional embolization chemotherapy has a good effect. Whether interventional therapy is needed after liver cancer surgery should be considered based on postoperative examinations.
