How can liver cancer patients prolong their lifespan? A comprehensive analysis of the lifespan of liver cancer patients

How can liver cancer patients prolong their lifespan? First of all, liver cancer must be treated actively. What else should be paid attention to in life? If liver cancer patients want to prolong their lifespan, they must do well in all aspects.

How long can liver cancer patients live?

As long as the treatment is active, the survival period can be extended to several years or even more than ten years. As long as the patient does not give up easily, a miracle can be created. When patients are diagnosed with cancer, most of them will choose traditional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, for patients with older age, the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are too great, which will go against the purpose. For cancer clinically, extending the survival period and improving the quality of life are the top priorities of treatment.

The key to how long you can live with early liver cancer is whether you receive timely and appropriate treatment. Generally speaking, the tumor of early liver cancer is smaller, and the chance of vascular invasion and metastasis is lower. If the patient's body can tolerate the side effects of surgery, surgical resection is often used. However, since there is a high probability of residual cancer cells after surgery, liver cancer should be actively and continuously treated after surgery. However, most patients are weak and are not suitable for treatments with greater toxic side effects such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. They can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can not only effectively kill residual cancer cells after surgery, but also regulate the patient's body immunity and promote the patient's physical recovery after surgery.

Next, let’s learn how to prolong the life of liver cancer patients.

How to prolong the life of liver cancer patients

Maximize the protection of liver function. The liver is the largest digestive gland in the human body. Its task is quite arduous. It is involved in various digestive metabolism and absorption and utilization activities of the body. Once the liver function is abnormal, a series of disorders such as sugar metabolism, protein metabolism, and fat metabolism will occur. Most liver cancer patients die of liver failure or digestive tract bleeding caused by portal hypertension due to abnormal liver function. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is to maximize the restoration and protection of the liver on the basis of syndrome differentiation. The focus is not on the tumor but on the improvement of symptoms. When the symptoms improve, the tumor will naturally stabilize or shrink.

Minimize complications. Hypersplenism is the most serious complication of liver cancer in most patients. It can cause abnormal hematopoietic mechanism and coagulation dysfunction. Combined with portal hypertension, it causes highly varicose veins at the gastric fundus, which can easily cause massive gastrointestinal bleeding. Abnormal liver function can also lead to insufficient protein synthesis, low protein, and a large amount of ascites. Tumor compression can also cause bile excretion disorders, causing jaundice, etc.

Postoperative care. It mainly includes two categories: diet and life care. The diet after liver cancer surgery should be mainly soft food that is easy to digest and absorb, but it is necessary to ensure sufficient nutrition and energy, so as to effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications. In addition, liver cancer patients should also exercise appropriately after surgery (within their own ability, but should avoid excessive and intense exercise) to enhance physical fitness, relax the liver, promote the body to recover as soon as possible, and thus achieve the purpose of prolonging life.

Patients’ attitude towards life. Emotional regulation has a positive impact on survival time after liver cancer surgery. Therefore, if liver cancer patients want to effectively prolong their life after surgery, they should have a strong sense of survival, not be troubled by the question of “how long can I live after liver cancer surgery”, and relax their mentality and actively cooperate with postoperative treatment.

The above introduces methods for liver cancer patients to prolong their lives. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
