How to treat liver cancer rationally

Liver cancer refers to malignant tumors that occur in the liver, including primary liver cancer and metastatic liver cancer. When people talk about liver cancer, they are mostly referring to primary liver cancer. Primary liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in clinical practice. According to the latest statistics, there are about 600,000 new liver cancer patients in the world each year, ranking fifth among malignant tumors.

How to treat liver cancer reasonably:

Over the past half century, thanks to advances in medical imaging, local cancer treatment, cell biology and molecular biology, people have made great progress in the understanding, research, diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. In particular, the rapid development of molecular biology has provided many approaches with potential clinical significance. Research on liver cancer has made great progress in terms of epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis and treatment. The concept of the etiology of liver cancer has been updated, diagnosis has changed from difficult to easy, treatment has changed from a single surgical method to a comprehensive application of multiple methods, and prognosis has changed from incurable to partially curable.

Surgery still plays a dominant role in the treatment of liver cancer. In recent years, liver cancer surgery has made a lot of progress based on new theories, new technologies and new concepts. In the past, based on the single resection of large liver cancer, there have been resections of small liver cancers that can significantly improve the efficacy, resections of subclinical recurrences that can significantly prolong the survival period after resection, and "resection of unresectable liver cancer after shrinkage" that provides a way out for some unresectable large liver cancers.

What are the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating liver cancer of heat toxicity and Yin damage type?

Liver cancer patients are weak and easily invaded by many factors such as cold, heat, wind, etc. The heat toxicity damages the yin because the heat evil is transmitted from the body surface or because the yang in the body is strong and the excessive consumption of rich food gathers and generates heat, causing the invisible evil heat to gather under the heart and the qi to be blocked. For liver cancer patients, the symptoms are abdominal distension, dry stools, short and red urine, dry mouth and fever, etc.

At this time, it is more appropriate to take Chinese medicine and diet therapy, because Chinese medicine and diet therapy generally have no toxic side effects, and can work relatively quickly, treating both the symptoms and the root cause. The available diet therapy recipes are as follows:
