What are the principles for the treatment of liver cancer? There are two principles to follow in the treatment of liver cancer

Liver cancer is a very difficult disease to cure, and the mortality rate of liver cancer is also very high. Once you are diagnosed with the disease, many people lose confidence in curing the disease. Therefore, patients must detect the disease early and receive treatment early, and do not miss the best treatment time.

⑴ Early treatment: The smaller the liver cancer, the better the curative effect after radical treatment. Currently, the 5-year survival rate after resection of small liver cancer is 60%~70%, while the 5-year survival rate after resection of large liver cancer is only about 20%.

⑵Comprehensive treatment: There is no specific treatment for liver cancer so far. The rational and planned comprehensive application of multiple methods can significantly improve the efficacy.

⑶ Active treatment: Facts have proved that retreatment is the key to improving the efficacy. Re-treatment of liver cancer recurrence and metastasis, such as interventional treatment via the hepatic artery, multiple treatments with injection of anhydrous alcohol, microwave solidification, focused ultrasound treatment, etc., can further improve the efficacy.

Surgical resection is the first choice for early liver cancer. If the tumor is deep and surgery is difficult, percutaneous anhydrous alcohol injection can be used. Interventional therapy or other treatments through arterial catheterization can also be used. Surgery is also the first choice for the treatment of stage II liver cancer. The surgical methods can be divided into radical resection and palliative resection according to the condition. It can be combined with intra-arterial chemotherapy and embolization, or anhydrous alcohol injection during surgery. The preferred treatment method for stage III liver cancer is intra-arterial catheter chemotherapy and embolization. If possible, a second-stage surgical resection can be performed after the tumor shrinks.

There are many ways to treat liver cancer. Patients must pay attention to the disease and receive treatment as soon as possible after the disease is discovered. In the process of treating the disease, patients should also actively cooperate with their diet, and do not neglect the disease to cause deterioration and affect the treatment effect of the patient.
