How to treat colorectal cancer metastases to the liver?

When colorectal cancer metastasizes to the liver, it can be treated through general treatment, surgery, chemotherapy, etc., which is beneficial to control the disease.

1. General treatment:

The cause of colorectal cancer may be related to genetic factors or age factors. Early-stage disease may not lead to more obvious clinical symptoms. As the disease may enter the late stage, patients may experience symptoms such as anemia and weight loss. At this time, distant metastasis is prone to occur. If it metastasizes to the liver, you should pay attention to maintaining a good mood and avoid excessive tension, but you also need to pay attention to strengthening nutrition. You can eat foods with high nutritional value such as beef and chicken appropriately.

2. Surgical treatment:

If the patient's physical condition can tolerate surgery, liver resection can be used to remove the lesion and prevent the cancer cells from spreading further. After surgery, care should be taken to keep the affected area clean and avoid scratching the affected area.

3. Chemotherapy:

If the patient's physical condition is too poor and the body's resistance is seriously reduced, and surgery is not possible, chemotherapy can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Common chemotherapy drugs usually include calcium folinate injection, oxaliplatin injection, capecitabine tablets, etc.

In addition to the common treatments mentioned above, targeted drug therapy can also be used to help improve clinical symptoms.
