What are the precautions for liver cancer chemotherapy?

Liver cancer chemotherapy drugs have a poor ability to distinguish between normal cells and malignant cells, and are also toxic to normal cells, causing significant adverse reactions. Some people believe that during chemotherapy, the greater the chemotherapy reaction, the better the efficacy. Is this true?

Among the chemotherapy drugs for liver cancer, some drugs such as nitrogen mustard, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin will have better efficacy as the dosage increases, and it is also possible to overcome the drug resistance of malignant cells to a certain extent. Of course, as the dosage of chemotherapy drugs increases, the adverse reactions will also increase. From this point of view, it seems to make sense that the greater the adverse reactions, the better the chemotherapy effect.

However, some liver cancer chemotherapy drugs, such as bleomycin, vincristine, bleomycin, eufodine, fluticasone, etc., do not increase their efficacy when they exceed a certain dosage range, but their toxicity increases significantly. In addition, with the advancement of adjuvant chemotherapy, the problems caused by drug side effects have been solved as much as possible. For example, peripheral blood leukopenia caused by chemotherapy drugs can be treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor after the application of chemotherapy drugs, such as Gilead, Huierxue, Granosate, etc. The side effect of leukopenia is not obvious, and the dosage of chemotherapy drugs can be increased to improve the efficacy. For example, high-dose cisplatin chemotherapy uses antiemetic drugs such as zofuran, so the side effect of vomiting is not strong, and the efficacy is significantly improved compared with low-dose cisplatin.

Therefore, the efficacy of chemotherapy for liver cancer should be determined according to the specific drugs, the specific chemotherapy methods, whether or not to use auxiliary drugs in combination, etc. It is not entirely correct to simply say that the greater the adverse reactions of liver cancer chemotherapy, the better the efficacy. In principle, the maximum efficacy should be achieved through chemotherapy, and the adverse reactions of liver cancer chemotherapy drugs should be minimized as much as possible.

What are the folk remedies for treating liver cancer?

After liver cancer patients are diagnosed, they must take some necessary treatments to reduce and eliminate cancer cells. This article introduces some folk remedies.

Conventional treatment methods

For patients with liver cancer, we usually use surgery and chemotherapy. Surgery is usually performed in the early stages of cancer, when the lesions are small, the site of onset is single, and the patient's physical fitness can withstand the surgery. Its advantage is that if the treatment is effective, it can be cured more thoroughly, but the surgical process carries a greater risk and is not suitable for patients with a large area of ​​metastasis. Chemotherapy uses radiotherapy to gradually reduce cancer cells. The initial effect is more obvious, but the treatment time is long and the toxic side effects on the patient's body are very large.
