What causes liver cancer? Correct treatment can alleviate the suffering of liver cancer patients

Actively treat and don't be scared by "liver cancer"

Mr. Dou, 56, had a dull pain in his right upper abdomen for more than two months. He was diagnosed with a 5 mm space-occupying lesion on his liver. An MRI scan revealed that he was in the late stage of liver cancer. Most patients with late-stage liver cancer have a life expectancy of half a year. I believe that no family can bear such a blow. However, for liver cancer, early detection and early treatment, especially those who meet the surgical indications, the prognosis is still good.

Liver cancer causes:

1. The most important cause of liver cancer is liver cancer after hepatitis B. Therefore, for patients with chronic hepatitis B and over 35 years old, a liver ultrasound and alpha-fetoprotein should be checked every three to six months, which can give more opportunities for early detection. Especially for people who have hepatitis B since childhood and patients with small three positive. You should be prepared to prevent liver cancer. Actively treating the primary disease is helpful to stay away from liver cancer.

2. In addition, fatty liver itself will not turn into liver cancer, but since fatty liver can also damage the liver, once infected with a virus, the consequences will be even more terrible.

Liver cancer treatment:

1. Liver tumors smaller than 2 cm may be completely cured after surgery; liver cancers larger than 2 cm often have vascular invasion and intrahepatic metastasis, and are more likely to recur after surgery.

At present, tumor treatment is standardized, and there are regulations on which method should be used at which stage. The treatment principle is comprehensive treatment centered on surgery. In the early stage when there is no metastasis, surgery is the first choice.

2. The cytological characteristics of liver cancer determine that it is insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In addition to surgery, the more commonly used treatment methods currently include local treatments such as interventional vascular occlusion, radiofrequency, microwave, freezing and targeted therapy.

Correct treatment can alleviate the pain of liver cancer patients

Patients with advanced liver cancer have very weak physical functions, and because surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can cause harm to the human body, most patients will experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, ascites, and pain in the liver area, which brings great pain to the patients. For advanced liver cancer, how to alleviate the pain of patients with advanced liver cancer and improve their quality of life is more important.

The reason why patients with advanced liver cancer experience a series of extremely painful symptoms is related to the large-scale spread of cancer on the one hand, and the harm caused by treatment on the other hand. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are commonly used treatments for advanced liver cancer. They have a more direct inhibitory effect on cancer, but due to their lack of selectivity, they also cause great damage to normal cells in the human body, causing the patient's immune function to be damaged, resistance to decline, and a series of complications from radiotherapy and chemotherapy to occur, hindering the treatment. Only by improving this situation can the treatment proceed smoothly, and it is the fundamental way to reduce the pain of patients with advanced liver cancer. Clinically, more and more doctors have realized the importance of improving the quality of life of patients with advanced liver cancer.

As a unique treatment method in my country, traditional Chinese medicine has played an advantage in this regard. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the reason why tumors are formed is because of insufficient positive energy and the entrenched evil energy, "accumulation". In treatment, on the one hand, it is necessary to "eliminate evil" and on the other hand, it is necessary to "support the positive energy". For advanced liver cancer, "supporting the positive energy" is even more important. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of advanced liver cancer can reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, improve the body's immune function, improve symptoms, and relieve the pain of patients with advanced liver cancer.

In addition, we should pay attention to our daily diet. Correct eating habits can also improve the symptoms of advanced liver cancer to a certain extent and relieve the pain of patients with advanced liver cancer. The main principle of choosing food in the late stage of liver cancer is: easy to digest and absorb, which is conducive to the alleviation and recovery of the disease. Therefore, it is recommended to first adopt a light diet, that is, what is usually called vegetarian, and eat less high-fat and greasy food. High-protein food should also be consumed in moderation to avoid increasing the burden on the liver. Eat more fresh vegetables, such as carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, and cucumbers. You can often eat mushrooms, fungus, tofu, soy milk, peanuts, walnuts, sesame, etc. In addition, eat some fresh fruits every day to supplement vitamins.
