Is surgery useful for advanced liver cancer? How should people with advanced liver cancer be treated?

Liver cancer is a malignant tumor disease, and it needs to be treated promptly after it occurs. Early surgical treatment can prolong life. After early surgical treatment to remove the cancerous part, the 5-year survival rate is as high as 50%~70%. When it develops to the middle and late stages, surgical treatment cannot be used, but radiotherapy, chemotherapy and interventional treatment can be used, all of which can control the growth of cancer cells.

Liver cancer is a malignant tumor disease that occurs in the liver. This disease is relatively serious. After the occurrence of liver cancer, the patient will experience pain in the liver area. As the disease worsens, the patient will also experience some other complications and hazards. Liver cancer can be treated surgically. In patients with advanced liver cancer, cancer cells have already spread. At this time, the patient's vital signs will be relatively weak, and surgical treatment is not suitable at this time. In the middle and late stages, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and interventional treatment can be used. These treatments have certain therapeutic significance and value for patients with middle and late stage liver cancer. The above treatments can prolong life, and the 3-year survival rate after effective treatment is as high as 50%.

Liver cancer patients can undergo surgery, but the best time for surgery is in the early stages of liver cancer, when surgery is more effective. Surgery can effectively remove the tumor, but after surgery, you need to take relevant protective measures to improve your quality of life and prolong your life.

Patients with advanced liver cancer can take the following treatments:

1. Chemotherapy is a common treatment method. The use of radiotherapy and chemotherapy drugs can effectively control the growth of cancer cells. Chemotherapy is a palliative treatment. Chemotherapy can control the growth of cancer cells, but it causes great damage to the body. People with poor physical fitness may experience physical intolerance during radiotherapy, which may also cause the condition to worsen. Although chemotherapy can kill cancer cells, normal cells will also be damaged, so the patient's physical fitness will deteriorate.

2. For patients with relatively good liver function, radiotherapy can be used. Radiotherapy can control the disease and also improve the patient's survival and quality of life.

Although liver cancer is a malignant tumor disease, it is preventable. In daily life, closely observe the changes in your body, go to the hospital for regular physical examinations, and seek medical treatment in time when abnormal phenomena are found, so as to avoid worsening of the disease. After suffering from hepatitis, it is necessary to take timely treatment measures, because hepatitis is likely to turn into cirrhosis and may even cause liver cancer, so actively receiving treatment in the early stage of the disease can effectively prevent it.
