What is the treatment for advanced liver cancer? What affects the life expectancy of patients with advanced liver cancer?

Whether advanced liver cancer can be cured depends mainly on whether the patient has taken appropriate treatment in time. Surgery is not recommended for advanced liver cancer because the patient's constitution is already weak or the disease has spread and metastasized, so most patients are not suitable for surgery. The clinical evaluation of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not very high. The reason is that in addition to liver cirrhosis, most patients with advanced liver cancer also have varying degrees of liver damage, and the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy can further damage liver function, thereby aggravating the condition of patients with advanced liver cancer.

For patients with advanced liver cancer who cannot receive Western medical treatment, the best way at this time is to use conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine as the main means of treatment. Through syndrome differentiation and treatment such as clearing away heat and detoxifying, strengthening the body and consolidating the foundation, invigorating qi and nourishing blood, some clinical symptoms of liver cancer can be quickly relieved, the patient's pain can be alleviated, and the patient's quality of life can be improved, which can effectively prolong the patient's survival time.

TCM treatment of liver cancer emphasizes treating both the symptoms and the root cause. For patients, it can better improve their symptoms, reduce the occurrence of complications, and relieve their pain. In terms of tumor control, it can increase the speed of effectiveness, control tumor growth, comprehensively control tumor development, and fundamentally inhibit cancer.

Generally speaking, early liver cancer tumors are small and have not spread or metastasized. The most effective treatment is surgical resection. The 5-year survival rate after early liver cancer resection can reach more than 60%. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, drugs and other treatments can be taken for a certain period of time after surgery to prevent recurrence. Once it enters the late stage, especially after the tumor cells have spread, even surgical treatment may not achieve good results. At this time, it depends on the patient's own physical function. If the patient is in good health and has a strong immune system, drug treatment can be used to maintain the patient's life to a certain extent. If the patient is weak and has low immunity, the patient's survival time will be reduced accordingly.

But in any case, patients should have a good mentality and should not live in panic because of fear of death, which will inevitably lead to accelerated death. Therefore, the patient's family should often enlighten the patient, let him build confidence, and give the patient some nutrients that are beneficial to the disease, which is very helpful to prolong survival time. So, what are the other factors that affect the life expectancy of patients with advanced liver cancer?

1. It is related to whether the diet structure is reasonable

It has a lot to do with whether the diet structure is reasonable, because in life, diet is not only the main source of nutrition for patients, but also proper diet can promote the recovery process of the disease. Therefore, if liver cancer patients want to live longer, they should actively adjust their diet structure, which should be light, soft, easy to digest, easy to absorb, and rich in nutrients. At the same time, they should eat more foods that are beneficial to liver cancer and avoid eating foods that are not good for liver cancer, so as to speed up the recovery process of the disease and effectively prolong the life of liver cancer patients. Experts say how long can patients with advanced liver cancer live?

2. It is directly related to whether the treatment is timely and accurate.

How long can you live with advanced liver cancer? This question is also closely related to whether the treatment is timely. It is very important to detect the disease early. Liver cancer patients should determine the treatment plan based on multiple factors such as the specific condition and their own physical fitness. Many liver cancer patients are found in the early stage and receive treatment in the first time. The survival rate has been significantly improved, and they have a higher quality of life. Some can even live for decades.
