Can primary liver cancer be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?

For example, currently targeted drugs are widely used in clinical practice, giving cancer patients, especially primary liver cancer patients, hope for survival, and some patients have better results with targeted drugs. Primary liver cancer is very common in clinical practice, but the treatment effect is often unsatisfactory. This disease cannot be completely cured by taking Chinese medicine, and the effect is not great. It is best to undergo surgery.

What medicine can be used to treat advanced liver cancer?

Patients with advanced liver cancer often have no indications or opportunities for surgery. For patients with advanced liver cancer, the treatment options include targeted drugs such as sorafenib, single-target gefitinib, monoclonal antibody bevacizumab, etc. Interventional therapy also has a certain role in the treatment of liver cancer, which can improve the patient's symptoms and prolong the patient's life. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have poor effects and are generally inefficient. The overall prognosis of patients with advanced liver cancer is relatively poor, with a survival time of about half a year to one year. The pain relief treatment of advanced liver cancer is mainly based on the principle of tertiary analgesia. It is generally recommended that first-level analgesics such as ibuprofen and ibuprofen be used when the pain is not particularly obvious. Painkillers can be used to solve pain problems in advanced liver, and gastrointestinal motility drugs can solve problems such as nausea and vomiting.

How long does it take for cirrhosis to develop into liver cancer?

The specific time for hepatitis B to develop into liver cancer is difficult to judge as a clinical significance, because there are many interfering factors, such as patient compliance with treatment. If the patient's compliance is not good, it may develop into liver cancer within a few years. If the patient's compliance is good, in the early stage of cirrhosis, active antiviral and liver protection treatments are carried out, and follow-up observations are performed, it may last relatively long. Some patients may not even develop liver cancer for 10 or 20 years. If the patient is treated in time, the condition will be better improved and generally will not develop into liver cancer. If the patient is not treated properly, or the treatment method is incorrect, it may develop into liver cancer in a short time. There is no clear data on how long it takes for hepatitis B cirrhosis to develop into liver cancer, because not all patients with cirrhosis will develop liver cancer, and not all liver cancers will develop into liver cancer.
