Is there any hope for mid-stage liver cancer? A brief introduction to the four treatments for liver cancer

Under the heavy pressure of life and work, many people often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and often hold grudges. In fact, this will also harm their liver. In addition, if they smoke and drink frequently, they are likely to have liver cancer. When liver cancer reaches the middle stage, surgical operation must be taken to remove cancer cells. In addition, Chinese medicine can be used to relieve pain.

Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor disease. Nowadays, because many people have the habit of drinking and smoking, the incidence of this disease is getting higher and higher. The early symptoms of this disease are relatively hidden and difficult to detect. By the time they are discovered, the disease has often developed to the middle stage. In the middle stage, liver cancer will have some obvious reactions. Whether it can still be treated at this time is also a question that patients are more concerned about. In fact, if we seize the opportunity at this time, the prognosis of the disease is actually very good.

1. Surgical treatment

Surgical treatment is the main way to treat liver cancer, and the treatment effect is also quite significant. For example, we can perform liver transplantation or liver resection, both of which achieve the purpose of cure by completely removing tumor tissue.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine has a very long history of treating this disease. After we perform surgical treatment, we can adopt traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods, and the effect of traditional Chinese medicine in treating this disease is also quite significant. If we cooperate with Chinese medicine treatment, the effect will be better and it can also help patients relieve pain.

3. Radiotherapy methods

Radiotherapy may have been used more frequently in clinical practice in the past, but now people have discovered that if radiotherapy is used, it will cause damage to the patient's liver and surrounding organs. Because the patient's body is already very weak in the middle stage, we generally do not consider radiotherapy at this time.

4. Chemotherapy

After surgical treatment, we actually have to take chemotherapy to remove the remaining cancer cells. However, during chemotherapy, if the dosage is unreasonable, it may cause damage to the patient's immunity, so we must follow the doctor's advice.

When liver cancer reaches the middle stage, we can no longer delay, because if the disease has reached the late stage, then we really can't do anything. When the disease is in the middle stage, sometimes surgical treatment can be used. Surgery can help people remove cancer cells. After the operation, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can be used to remove residual cancer cells. At the same time, the effect of combined treatment with traditional Chinese medicine is also very good.
