Is there any hope for advanced liver cancer? How can we treat it to prolong the patient's life?

Although many diseases may have been heard of by everyone, most people do not have a deep understanding of them, which leads to a series of questions. For example, liver cancer has been heard of by everyone, but many people do not know its specific manifestations. So when they have related symptoms, they do not know that it is liver cancer. In addition, the symptoms of liver cancer are not obvious at the beginning, so when many people go to the hospital for treatment, most of them are in the middle and late stages. So, is there any hope for late-stage liver cancer? How can it be treated to prolong the patient's life? In response to this question, let's take a look at the following introduction.

Is there any hope for advanced liver cancer? How can we prolong the patient's life?

Experts say: Generally speaking, it is difficult, but this does not mean that we should just give up at this point. Because with the development of modern medicine, although advanced liver cancer cannot be cured, standardized treatment can still effectively help patients prolong their lives. Actively cooperating with treatment is the most correct attitude towards advanced liver cancer.

As for what specific methods to take to help patients solve this situation, we must make comprehensive considerations at this time, because at this time, most of the patients' lesions have already metastasized or spread, and the overall physical fitness of the patients has also declined sharply. Many patients will have a variety of problems such as decreased appetite, dysphagia, and weight loss. Therefore, the overall difficulty of treatment is relatively large, and improper treatment is likely to bring more serious consequences to patients. Under normal circumstances, at this time, patients with more irritating treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are temporarily unavailable. From clinical experience, the most effective and appropriate treatment method should be mainly traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and then appropriately cooperate with some Western medicine treatment. Because the biggest feature of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is that treatment and conditioning are given equal importance. While inhibiting the growth and spread of liver cancer cells, it can also condition the body, help patients eliminate toxins, increase appetite, improve immunity, and relieve pain. As for Western medicine, although it has great side effects on the body, the effect it brings is very direct. For example, oral antiviral drugs can quickly improve liver function, so even in the late stage of liver cancer, as long as the physical condition allows, these Western medicine methods are still an important way to treat.

By the way, finally, don’t forget one more thing, that is nursing, which can effectively prolong the patient’s life at this time. It mainly includes: appropriate adjustments to the diet, follow the main principles of eating small meals, light and nutritious meals, pay attention to rest, try to adjust your mentality, and respond positively.
