Digestive tract bleeding in advanced liver cancer

Advanced liver cancer gastrointestinal bleeding

Gastrointestinal bleeding in advanced liver cancer may be caused by ruptured bleeding of gastric varicose veins, erosion of gastrointestinal mucosa and other reasons. Surgical treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be chosen to improve the condition.

1. Rupture and bleeding of gastric varicose veins:

Liver cancer is a malignant tumor. If the disease is not treated in time after it occurs, it will lead to the development of liver cancer to the late stage. The rupture and bleeding of gastric varicose veins may be due to the combination of cirrhosis or portal hypertension, leading to symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding in the late stage of liver cancer.

2. Gastrointestinal mucosal erosion:

Gastrointestinal bleeding in advanced liver cancer may also be caused by erosion of the patient's own gastrointestinal mucosa. If advanced liver cancer is not treated in time, it may lead to coagulation mechanism disorders, causing bleeding at the erosion site, and may also lead to gastrointestinal bleeding in advanced liver cancer.

Patients with advanced liver cancer and gastrointestinal bleeding can undergo high-frequency electrocoagulation and argon plasma coagulation treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can stop bleeding. They also need to choose radiotherapy and chemotherapy to inhibit the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs generally include cisplatin injection, paclitaxel injection, etc.
