What should be paid attention to when treating liver cancer? Beware of the eight pitfalls of liver cancer treatment

Trap 1: Liver cancer equals death. The World Health Organization has long defined liver cancer as a preventable and curable chronic disease, however, many people still equate liver cancer with death. The extreme panic caused by liver cancer can lead to endocrine disorders and immune system collapse, thus rapidly expanding the power of the disease. Data show that many patients are "scared" to death by liver cancer!

Trap 2: Everything will be fine if liver cancer is removed. Having liver cancer does not mean death, and removing liver cancer does not mean recovery! This is because surgery can only remove visible tumors, but cannot remove invisible liver cancer cells. If treatment is stopped, those cells that have not been removed can spread and metastasize, causing the cancer to revive. The latest data shows that about 80% of liver cancer patients die during the recovery period!

Trap 3: The more times radiotherapy and chemotherapy are performed, the more effective they are. “Life is not over, chemotherapy is not over” is the life portrayal of many patients. They mistakenly believe that the more times radiotherapy and chemotherapy are performed and the higher the dosage, the better the effect.

Trap 4: The more expensive the anti-liver cancer drug, the better. Many people believe that the more expensive the anti-liver cancer drug, the better the treatment effect.

Trap 5: Focusing on a single method and ignoring comprehensive treatment. Liver cancer is a local manifestation of a systemic disease, and using a single method to treat liver cancer is like robbing Peter to pay Paul, and the one who gets hurt is still yourself! For example, a single surgery can cause great damage to the patient's vitality, and chemotherapy can bring disaster to the immune system, etc. Once the damage is done, the consequences are extremely serious, and many people give up because of this.

Trap 6: Trusting "secret recipes" and "folk remedies". Some people believe in rumors, or even believe in "secret recipes" and "folk remedies", and spend a lot of money to hire so-called "cancer treatment experts" and refuse other treatment methods. The result is often that the more they "treat" the disease, the more complicated it becomes, the more uncomfortable the patient becomes, and the opportunity for radical treatment is missed, turning a curable disease into an incurable one. It is really "losing both the wife and the army".

Trap 7: Fighting poison with poison. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states: "If you use strong poison to treat a disease, six out of ten will die; if you use non-toxic drugs to treat a disease, nine out of ten will die." On the other hand, liver cancer patients who use the "fighting poison with poison" method suffer from bone damage at best, and severe liver and kidney damage or even failure at worst. This is like adding insult to injury for those who are already weak!

Trap 8: False advertisements everywhere. Various advertisements for liver cancer treatments are everywhere, making it difficult for patients to distinguish them. Coupled with the factor of "trying all kinds of treatments in a hurry", many people jump from one pit to another! Not only did they take a detour and delay their treatment, but they also lost a lot of money and even their lives. The lesson is painful!
