What should be paid attention to when treating liver cancer? Five common misunderstandings about treating liver cancer

Liver cancer is a very difficult disease to cure. After contracting the disease, many people tend to feel hopeless about the treatment. In fact, liver cancer is not an incurable disease. Patients with liver cancer must have enough knowledge about the disease in order to better control the disease.

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 induced 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!

Second: The more times radiotherapy and chemotherapy are given, the more effective they are. "As long as life lasts, chemotherapy will not stop" is the life portrayal of many patients. They mistakenly believe that the more times radiotherapy and chemotherapy are given and the larger the dosage, the better the effect.

3. Removing liver cancer will solve all problems. 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!

Fourth: Fight poison with poison. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: "If you use strong poison to treat a disease, six out of ten will be cured; if you use non-toxic medicine to treat a disease, nine out of ten will be cured." On the other hand, those liver cancer patients who use the method of "fighting poison with poison" will suffer from bone damage at the least, and serious damage to liver and kidney functions, or even failure at the worst. This is like adding insult to injury for those who are already weak.

Five: Focusing on a single method and neglecting 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.

Liver cancer patients must pay attention to the disease. There are many treatments for liver cancer. Patients should not be discouraged, so as to effectively avoid the deterioration of the disease. While treating the disease, patients should also pay attention to their diet adjustment and actively face the disease, so that patients can control the disease.
