Three common liver cancer treatments

Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor with a high mortality rate, threatening the lives of many people. What are the methods for treating liver cancer? Here are some common methods for treating liver cancer.

In general, the common treatments for liver cancer are:

1. Surgical treatment is the traditional method for treating liver cancer, which mainly includes the following:

1) Surgical resection

2) Various local treatments during surgery for unresectable liver: ① Intraoperative chemotherapy and ligation of the hepatic artery and portal vein; ② Intraoperative chemotherapy with an implantable infusion pump; ③ Intraoperative implantable microwave radiation therapy; ④ Intraoperative cryotherapy; ⑤ Intraoperative electrochemical therapy; ⑥ Tamoxifen plus liver perfusion chemotherapy; ⑦ Sequential treatment of liver cancer.

2. Radiation therapy

In recent years, with the progress of research in radiation physics and radiation physiology, radiotherapy equipment has been developed, using cobalt 60 gamma rays or X-rays and high-energy rays from electron linear accelerators, and the irradiation methods and ranges for liver cancer have also been improved. From the original whole liver irradiation-local irradiation-whole liver mobile radiotherapy-surgical positioning local irradiation and hyperfractionated irradiation, the effect of treating liver cancer has been significantly improved, and the side effects have been reduced to the lowest level. It mainly includes external radiotherapy and internal radiotherapy. This is one of the more common methods for treating liver cancer.

3. Chemotherapy

95% of liver cancer patients have lost the chance of surgery when diagnosed, and most liver cancer patients still rely on chemical drugs to treat liver cancer. In the past, chemotherapy for liver cancer was not highly evaluated, especially the systemic administration had little effect. In recent years, the administration route of chemotherapy has been changed, and hepatic artery chemotherapy and embolization have been performed, which has significantly improved the chemotherapy effect of liver cancer. It is currently believed that intubation chemotherapy is better than systemic combined chemotherapy, and combined chemotherapy is better than single-drug chemotherapy. Hepatic artery catheterization chemotherapy is considered to be the best treatment for patients with liver cancer who are not suitable for surgery, and it is also a relatively common method of treating liver cancer.

What are the surgical treatments for liver cancer?

Everyone wants to have a healthy body, but there are always various diseases in life that bother everyone. Liver cancer is one of the common diseases. How much do you know about surgical treatment of liver cancer? Below, experts will introduce you to the relevant knowledge of surgical treatment of liver cancer.

Surgical treatment of liver cancer Surgical resection is the first choice for the treatment of early liver cancer. Most patients with early liver cancer can achieve long-term survival after surgical resection.

The indications for surgical treatment of liver cancer are: ① patients with a clear diagnosis and estimated lesions limited to one lobe or half of the liver; ② patients without obvious jaundice, ascites or distant metastasis; ③ patients with good liver function compensation and thrombin time not less than 50%; ④ patients with tolerance of heart, liver and kidney functions.

The surgical treatment of liver cancer in the early stage includes radical resection and palliative resection. The specific resection method is selected according to the patient's specific tolerance and the degree of progression of the disease. In the treatment of liver cancer in the early stage, after the surgical treatment of liver cancer, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of recurrence and metastasis, reduce the postoperative mortality rate, prevent postoperative complications and recurrence and metastasis, and promote postoperative recovery.
