How to treat diffuse liver cancer effectively? Introducing the method of local ablation to treat liver cancer

What is the best treatment for diffuse liver cancer?

Diffuse liver cancer is a type of liver cancer. Many people want to know how to treat diffuse liver cancer. So what is the best way to treat diffuse liver cancer? I hope the following experts' introduction can help you. Let everyone know more about the treatment of diffuse liver cancer.

Diffuse liver cancer is a type of primary liver cancer. It is characterized by cancerous nodules ranging in size from rice grains to soybeans scattered throughout the liver. The liver is no longer significantly enlarged and may even shrink. Because the disease deteriorates rapidly, early diagnosis and early treatment are important treatment principles for diffuse liver cancer.

The most important thing for advanced patients is to prolong life and relieve pain. Although radiotherapy, chemotherapy and biological cell immunotherapy have a more direct effect on the treatment of diffuse liver cancer, their long-term efficacy is not satisfactory, and the rate of recurrence and metastasis after treatment is also high. In addition, these treatment methods for diffuse liver cancer will cause a certain degree of damage to the body functions of diffuse liver cancer patients. Therefore, this situation is no longer suitable for surgery and radiotherapy, and it is recommended to choose biological cell immunotherapy.

It is understood that when biological cell immune technology is used to treat tumors, it extracts immune cells from the patient's own peripheral blood, induces them in the GMp laboratory, activates and expands them, and then returns them to the patient's body, achieving the purpose of effectively treating tumor cells while repairing and strengthening the human immune system, not giving tumor cells the opportunity to metastasize. This treatment method for diffuse liver cancer is less painful and highly safe, and is known as a green therapy for tumor treatment. Biological cell immune technology combines surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy for treatment, plays an important role in reducing patients' side effects, and can effectively prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis, and rapidly improve the body's immunity.

Local ablation for liver cancer

There are many treatments for liver cancer. The main methods of local ablation for liver cancer are as follows:

Radiofrequency ablation

Radiofrequency ablation is a representative minimally invasive treatment for liver cancer. Its advantages are easy operation, avoidance of open surgery, and short hospitalization time. The long-term efficacy of radiofrequency ablation is similar to that of liver transplantation and liver resection. The essence of radiofrequency ablation is to accurately inactivate the tumor as a whole and minimize damage to normal liver tissue. The prerequisite is to confirm the tumor infiltration range and satellite lesions. Ultrasound is the preferred method to guide radiofrequency ablation treatment.

Microwave ablation

Microwave ablation is a commonly used thermal ablation method. There is no significant difference between microwave ablation and radiofrequency ablation in terms of local efficacy, complication rate and long-term survival. Microwave ablation technology can inactivate tumors at one time. For tumors with rich blood supply, the main nourishing blood vessels of the tumor can be coagulated and blocked first, and then the tumor can be inactivated, which can improve the efficacy. The establishment of a temperature monitoring system can regulate the effective thermal field range to ensure the coagulation effect.

Anhydrous ethanol injection

Anhydrous ethanol injection is suitable for the treatment of small liver cancers with a diameter of ≤3 cm and recurrent small liver cancers; it can also play a role in palliative treatment for liver cancers or recurrent lesions with a diameter of more than 3 cm that are not suitable for surgery. Clinically, some cancer lesions are close to the liver hilum, gallbladder and gastrointestinal tissues, and thermal ablation treatment may easily cause damage. Anhydrous ethanol injection and thermal ablation can be considered to prevent complications.
