Can liver transplantation be used to treat liver cancer?

1. Liver transplantation is an effective means of treating liver cancer, especially for patients with small liver cancer who have cirrhosis and loss of liver function compensation. However, its indications should be strictly controlled for patients with advanced liver cancer.

2. Liver transplantation is a high-risk, complex, time-consuming, and bleeding operation, so liver cancer should be carefully selected for liver transplantation. Liver cancer is a good indication for liver transplantation; liver cancer can be a liver transplant.

Survival rate after resection of early-stage liver cancer

Patients with early liver cancer after surgery. If it is early liver cancer, the 5-year survival rate after surgical resection can reach 50%. For some early small liver cancers, according to statistics, the 5-year survival rate is even higher, reaching 70%~80%.

Liver cancer analysis is as follows: one is small liver cancer, the main diameter is less than 2cm, two is small liver cancer, small liver cancer is 2-5cm, three is large liver cancer, large liver cancer is 5-10cm, and more than 10cm, we usually call it giant liver cancer. For these small liver cancers, if the survival rate is resected, it is also very good, basically more than 90%. Of course, for large liver cancer, especially giant liver cancer, it is relatively poor, with an overall five-year survival rate of between 30% and 40%. So if liver cancer can be operated on, this shows that this is a good thing, but after surgery, some auxiliary treatments are also needed, for example, some interventions, radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine, and immune gene therapy are needed. If they can be coordinated, these can greatly improve his survival rate.
