What factors affect the treatment effect of liver cancer? Keep in mind two points to improve the treatment effect of liver cancer

We all know that liver cancer is not an easy disease to cure. After contracting the disease, people will not only suffer from pain, but also lose their lives. However, there are still many ways to treat liver cancer, and the effect of treatment varies from person to person. Everyone should understand the factors that affect the treatment effect.

1. The patient's general constitution affects the prognosis of liver cancer. General constitution refers to the patient's general condition and the reserve function of important organs such as the heart, liver, kidney, and lung. Age and gender themselves have little to do with the prognosis of tumors, but older people have an increased chance of developing diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, etc., which increases the risk of surgery and the incidence of postoperative complications. Different genders have different incidence rates, which will affect the overall survival rate of liver cancer patients to a certain extent. People with existing organic diseases such as heart, liver, kidney, and lung will increase the risk of surgery; some patients cannot even tolerate surgical treatment, which will naturally affect the efficacy. Actively treating the primary disease will help improve the patient's short-term prognosis.

2. Psychological factors affect the treatment effect of liver cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that: "The liver belongs to wood, and wood is harmonious and regulated, so it does not cause stagnation, and the blood circulation will be smooth." The incidence and treatment effect of liver cancer are closely related to liver qi stagnation. Maintaining a good mental state is the first element for liver cancer patients to recover from the disease.

Advanced liver cancer patients generally have anxiety, tension, fear, pessimism, and despair. Doctors and family members should stabilize the patient's emotions, patiently explain the significance, methods, ways and precautions of various treatments to the patient, and communicate more with the patient. Advanced liver cancer patients generally hope to receive care, love and attention from their family. Therefore, the role of family members is more important, and they should communicate more with the patient, care, encourage and comfort the patient.

If the patient's physical condition allows, they can do what they can, such as light housework or walking, practicing Tai Chi, practicing Qigong, etc., but they should not feel tired as a principle, and must avoid heavy labor and intense physical activities. Young patients who can resume work should try to return to work (must be light physical labor) to distract attention and anxiety about the disease, reduce mental burden, and promote physical recovery.

The above are several factors that affect the treatment effect of liver cancer. In fact, liver cancer is not an easy disease to cure. Patients must have enough understanding during the treatment process. For liver cancer patients, the most important thing is to detect the disease early and treat it early.
