How long can a person with liver cancer usually live

How long can a person with liver cancer usually live?

1. Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. The disease is asymptomatic in the early stage. As the tumor progresses, corresponding symptoms appear, including swelling, pain, and digestive system abnormalities. Advanced liver cancer cannot be cured under the current medical level, and the natural survival time is no more than half a year.

2. If chronic hepatitis is not treated actively, the annual survival rate of patients with decompensated cirrhosis is only 50%. If it is liver cancer, the survival period will be even shorter, and the survival time of liver cancer patients cannot be determined.

Genetic testing and targeted therapy for liver cancer

We call it molecular targeted therapy, which is to design corresponding therapeutic drugs for tumor mutated genes at the cellular molecular level, and selectively kill these mutated gene tumor cells through drugs, causing them to die specifically without damaging the normal tissue cells around the tumor. Therefore, molecular targeted therapy is also called biological missile.

Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system. Due to its high incidence, high malignancy, and easy recurrence and metastasis, the overall prognosis of liver cancer patients is not very good.

Among them, targeted therapy plays an important role in the treatment of liver cancer. Commonly used targeted drugs include sorafenib, which is a multi-targeted anti-tumor drug.
