Can liver cancer be cured by liver transplantation? Liver cancer can also be treated in this way

Liver transplantation is a very important means to cure liver cancer, but in fact the requirements for liver transplantation are very high, especially since liver resources are currently insufficient and the operation is difficult. It takes evaluation from all aspects to determine whether the liver transplantation meets the requirements and thus achieve the real effect of liver cancer treatment.

Liver cancer can be treated by liver transplantation. Liver cancer is a common digestive system malignancy with a very high degree of malignancy. The average survival period of patients is relatively short and the prognosis is very poor. Liver cancer mostly comes from long-term chronic liver disease, such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus infection. The disease gradually progresses and develops into cirrhosis and liver cancer. In addition, aflatoxin contamination in the diet can also lead to the occurrence of liver cancer. Early diagnosis and early surgical treatment of liver cancer can significantly improve the prognosis and prolong the patient's survival. If the liver cancer is more serious and belongs to the middle and late stages of liver cancer, minimally invasive treatment can be considered, such as interventional embolization, microwave or other ablation treatments. When necessary, targeted drugs and traditional Chinese medicine can be considered. If conditions permit, matching can be done in advance, and liver transplantation can be considered when necessary. Generally speaking, if the liver tumor has not metastasized to distant sites, liver transplantation can still be considered. If distant metastasis occurs, liver transplantation is of little significance. So whether this primary liver cancer can be replaced with a liver: First, it depends on the patient's tumor and the degree of localization or spread. Second, it is related to the patient's own physical condition, and a comprehensive consideration of both is taken to decide whether to perform a liver transplant. First of all, we know that liver tumors are more common. For early liver cancer, the doctor's first choice is surgical treatment. There are also interventional treatments, microwave treatments, and radiofrequency treatments. The final application also includes molecular targeted drugs, such as sorafenib and other targeted drug treatments. Surgery is generally not used for advanced tumors. For liver transplants, what kind of patients are suitable for liver transplants depends on the patient's basic liver condition and liver function. For early liver cancer, liver transplants can be performed, which can achieve a cure, but after liver transplantation, there are also some side effects, such as some common rejection reactions and some infections. Therefore, not all people can achieve a radical cure after a transplant. First, they must pass the rejection period and infection period in order to achieve the purpose of cure.
