What is the best way to treat liver cancer? These 4 treatments for liver cancer are very common

Cancer does not mean it cannot be treated. Different cancers require different treatments. In the treatment of liver cancer, we need to determine the number, size, and location of malignant tumors. At the same time, the extent of cancer cell spread and complications all need to be objectively analyzed before treatment. But what most people can rest assured about is that liver cancer is indeed curable. With the development of modern medicine, the possibility of curing liver cancer has gradually increased. As long as we use resources reasonably to choose treatment methods and actively cooperate with treatment, liver cancer is not that scary.

What are the treatments for liver cancer?

1. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a conventional treatment method for cancer. It has large side effects, but it can effectively kill cancer cells and is the main method of using drugs to control cancer cells. However, in the use of chemotherapy, we should consider its side effects and how to use it reasonably to avoid further harming patients with advanced cancer on the basis of physical damage. In the treatment of liver cancer, if chemotherapy is used blindly, even if some cancer cells are killed, it will further damage liver function, which will aggravate the patient's condition.

2. Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have similar effects. Radiotherapy uses radioactive therapy to kill cancer cells. It is carried out through beams and radiation. Although it can be localized, it will also cause damage to normal cells. Sometimes it will affect the normal function of the liver and destroy the liver's tissue cells, which is not conducive to the patient's condition. Like chemotherapy, radiotherapy also needs to be given priority to the damage it brings to the patient.

3. Surgical treatment

Surgery is a very typical treatment for cancer. It is a direct removal of part of the cancerous tissue. When liver cancer occurs, it is accompanied by swelling and abnormal proliferation of the liver. Then we can perform surgery to alleviate the growth of cancer cells. There are many surgical methods that can effectively control cancer. Before doing surgery, we need to evaluate the patient's body, the spread of cancer cells, and the severity of the disease, and then consider which method to use for surgery.

4. Biological therapy

Biological therapy is different from radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgical treatment. Biological therapy mainly relies on molecular compounds of biological reactions to treat tumors. The main mechanism is to interfere with the biological behavior of tumors, that is, to interfere with the growth and metastasis of tumors. This is a method to control tumors from the root, so that the main toxic substances are in the tumor, which is conducive to the treatment of liver cancer with radiotherapy, chemotherapy or surgical treatment.

Liver cancer will have obvious pathological characteristics in the late stage, which can easily bring great pressure to patients. Hepatosplenomegaly, edema, ascites and other conditions will make patients anxious. While treating the symptoms, we need to actively help patients adjust their mentality and make them full of expectations for life. In addition to conventional treatments, there are also new treatments such as laser therapy, particle implantation therapy, and radiofrequency ablation therapy. Cancer is no longer so scary. We are fully capable of fighting cancer and maintaining the lives of patients under the erosion of cancer.
