What are the treatments for liver cancer?

What are the treatments for liver cancer? In daily life, liver cancer is a common malignant tumor disease, which seriously affects the patient's normal life and physical and mental health. With the continuous improvement of medical level, the treatment methods of liver cancer have also diversified. Let's take a look at the treatment methods of liver cancer.

1. Surgery

Surgery is the first choice and the most effective method for treating liver cancer. Surgical methods include radical liver resection, adaptive liver resection, etc.

2. Treatment of unresectable liver cancer

For liver cancer that cannot be removed, treatments such as hepatic artery ligation, hepatic artery chemoembolization, radiofrequency, cryotherapy, laser, and microwave can be used according to the specific situation and have certain curative effects. Primary liver cancer is also one of the indications for liver transplantation.

3. Chemotherapy

If the tumor is found to be unresectable during laparotomy, or as a follow-up treatment for tumor metastasis and resection, regional chemoembolization can be performed by placing a pump (subcutaneous implantation infusion device) in the hepatic artery and/or portal vein. For those who are expected to be unresectable by surgery, radiation therapy can also be performed, with selective cannulation of the hepatic artery through the femoral artery, injection of embolic agents (commonly used such as iodized oil) and anticancer drugs for chemoembolization, which can give some patients the opportunity for surgical resection.

4. Radiation therapy

The general condition is good, the liver function is good, and there is no

No jaundice,

Patients with asplenia, hyperfunction and esophageal varices, relatively large tumors, no distant metastasis and who are not suitable for surgical resection or relapse after surgery can receive comprehensive treatment with radiation as the main method.

What are the treatments for early liver cancer?

Liver cancer is a disease that causes great harm to people's bodies. Early detection and early treatment have a very good effect on the cure of liver cancer. The treatment of early liver cancer can effectively control the deterioration of the disease and improve the treatment effect. The following is an analysis of the treatment methods for early liver cancer:

Method 1: Surgical resection

For most patients with early-stage liver cancer, liver cancer resection can cure the disease, because the tumor is small at this time and has not yet spread and metastasized. The most effective treatment is surgical resection. However, the specific effect needs to be evaluated based on the patient's physical condition and living conditions. Generally, the prognosis of early-stage liver cancer surgical resection is related to the size of the tumor at the time of resection. The better the physical fitness and the smaller the tumor, the higher the five-year survival rate.

Method 2: Cellular immunotherapy

Cellular immunotherapy is a method of inhibiting and treating tumors by stimulating the body's own immune system. It can make up for the shortcomings of traditional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. While killing tumor cells, it regulates and restores the body's immune function, kills formed tumor cells, inhibits the formation of new tumor cells, and blocks

The root cause of recurrence and metastasis is the best way to treat liver cancer.

Method 3: Radiotherapy and chemotherapy

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a relatively direct therapeutic effect on liver cancer. They can shrink tumors and alleviate symptoms to a certain extent. However, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also cause great harm to patients, suppress the body's immunity, and cause damage to human functions. Clinically, they are often combined with cellular immunotherapy for comprehensive treatment.

Method 4: Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

When liver cancer is combined with cirrhosis in the early stages, liver cancer surgery is more likely to cause liver damage or even severe liver failure. In addition, when liver cancer is located near the liver hilum, the risk of surgery is also greater. Finally, if the elderly and frail cannot withstand liver cancer surgery, conservative treatment with Chinese medicine is generally used.
