What does interventional treatment for liver cancer mean? Detailed explanation of interventional treatment methods for liver cancer

We all know that there are many ways to treat liver cancer, but not every method is satisfactory. Due to the limitations of many medical environments and conditions, the cure rate of liver cancer is not high. Interventional treatment of liver cancer is one of the more effective methods. It is very necessary to let everyone know the advantages and disadvantages of this method.

As we all know, liver cancer may have a fatal impact on the human body, so many people are very afraid to hear about this disease. But no matter how hateful the disease is, we should face it without fear, including understanding the treatment methods of the disease. Interventional treatment of liver cancer is a very effective one. It can effectively remove the impact of cancer on the human body, and often there is no recurrence phenomenon. It is indeed very beneficial to the human body. The following is a comparison of the types of interventional treatments for liver cancer and various advantages and disadvantages. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

1. Transvascular interventional therapy

The most common method is to use vascular interventional therapy. It is done by puncturing the femoral artery, and then injecting chemotherapy drugs and embolic agents from the femoral artery into the hepatic artery under fluoroscopy. Liver cancer patients have a single blood supply, so interventional therapy for liver cancer patients is relatively simple technically. The effect of interventional therapy for liver cancer is very good. Embolization therapy can occlude tumor blood vessels and shrink the tumor blood vessels to achieve the purpose of treatment. Interventional therapy is very reasonable for liver cancer patients.

2. Non-vascular interventional therapy

For non-vascular interventional treatment, a commonly used method is percutaneous transhepatic ablation therapy. Whether it is radiofrequency or cryosurgery, these local interventional treatments are called ablation therapy. The percutaneous transhepatic approach uses physical or chemical methods to deliver anticancer substances to the tumor locally, causing the tumor to be ablated and necrotic.

Comparing vascular interventional treatment and non-vascular interventional treatment, vascular interventional treatment is more mature and has relatively good results and no recurrence because of its wide range of indications. Non-vascular treatment methods are relatively limited. Some patients are not suitable for non-vascular methods.
