What are the tumor markers of liver cancer? How to treat liver cancer?

We all know that liver cancer is a disease caused by the malignant proliferation of liver epithelial cells. It is very destructive and poses a serious threat to the patient's life safety. Therefore, we must not take this disease lightly. In daily life, we must pay close attention to our physical condition and have regular check-ups. If liver cancer tumor markers are found to be elevated, timely treatment must be carried out.

Liver cancer is a very harmful disease, but because its early symptoms are not obvious, it is easy to delay the disease, which will cause patients to miss the best time for treatment, thus causing great difficulties in treatment. Therefore, for this disease, we should adopt the principle of early detection and early treatment. We should go to the hospital for regular check-ups, which is very helpful for timely detection of the disease.

So what tumor markers are there for liver cancer? At present, alpha-fetoprotein is the only clinically recommended tumor marker for liver cancer. It is very helpful for detecting early cancer. Therefore, in daily life, if the patient's liver has abnormalities, he should go to the hospital for alpha-fetoprotein screening in time, so that the disease can be discovered early, so that measures can be taken as soon as possible for treatment and improve the cure rate of the disease. In addition to alpha-fetoprotein, fucosidase can also be used as a tumor marker for liver cancer. This substance has good sensitivity and specificity and can be used as an auxiliary diagnosis method.

So what should we do if we have liver cancer? After the patient is diagnosed with liver cancer, the lesions and infected tissues are removed to control the progression of the disease. For liver cancer that cannot be removed, we can use hepatic artery chemotherapy, radiofrequency, freezing, laser, microwave and other methods for treatment, which also has a certain effect on controlling the progression of the disease. After the operation, we also need to use chemotherapy and radiotherapy for follow-up treatment to kill cancer cells in the body and reduce the chance of metastasis and recurrence. In daily life, patients can also use traditional Chinese medicine for auxiliary treatment, which can effectively inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and is of great help to the recovery of the disease.

In short, we should correctly understand the tumor markers of liver cancer, which is very helpful for early detection of the disease. After being diagnosed with liver cancer, patients must undergo surgery in a timely manner and pay attention to care in daily life, so as to control the development of the disease as much as possible and obtain the best treatment effect.
