Can Sorafenib Cure Liver Cancer?

For some small liver cancers, the use of sorafenib should be able to achieve clinical cure, but it cannot be said that it can be completely cured. Dr. Hu Youzhu believes that the cure of liver cancer is a clinical concept. The metastasis of liver cancer is divided into two types: intrahepatic metastasis and extrahepatic metastasis. Intrahepatic metastasis means that the liver is like a mother lesion, and then it spreads inside the liver, and then some sub-lesions called satellite lesions appear; while extrahepatic metastasis can be transferred to the lungs, bones, brain and other parts.

It can be seen that there are still many medical methods to treat liver cancer, which gives patients great confidence in treatment. Patients can ask their attending physicians and choose the most suitable treatment plan based on their actual situation.
