What are the treatment principles for primary liver cancer? Five treatment principles for primary liver cancer

Life is spent with diseases big and small. Primary liver cancer is one of the more common malignant tumors. I believe we are not familiar with this disease. The incidence rate is very high. Cases occur in relatively backward rural areas. The incidence rate is more subtle and there are no obvious symptoms in the early stages. Most of the time, patients are diagnosed in the moderate or late stages, which is not very conducive to treatment.

What is primary liver cancer? Due to various harmful factors in the liver's external environment (mainly chemical carcinogens) and the effects of some long-term carcinogens in the liver, liver cells (or bile duct cells, etc.) proliferate, leading to damage to the normal structure of malignant tumors. This disease seriously affects the patient's life and work. If you want to alleviate the disease, you need to start from your usual living habits.

1. When the primary cancer is still confined to the lungs and has not yet metastasized to distant sites, surgery is the main treatment option. Surgery can be performed based on observations made based on pathological sections, supplemented by other treatment methods, and is the preferred treatment option.

2. The scope of surgical resection should be based on the patient's specific situation, that is, all cancerous tissue should be removed while preserving lung function as much as possible.

3. For patients in the advanced stage who have lost the chance of being cured by surgery, if the disease is before stage IIIb, we can still try to remove the tumor and clear the lymph nodes, and good results are expected.

4. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is a method of killing cancer locally. Among all types of lung cancer, undifferentiated small cell carcinoma is the most sensitive, followed by squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma is less sensitive. It is currently used for extensive lesions, distant metastasis, or due to poor physical condition, which are not suitable for surgical treatment, to improve symptoms and prolong life. Radiotherapy can also be combined with surgical treatment. According to the location and extent of the cancer, it is estimated that for cases where surgery is more difficult, preoperative radiotherapy can increase the surgical resection rate. For undifferentiated small cell carcinoma, such as surgical resection, preoperative radiotherapy can improve the efficacy. Preoperative radiotherapy for other types of lung cancer is not suitable for different viewpoints.

5. Application of anticancer drugs: Among various lung cancers, undifferentiated small cell lung cancer is the most sensitive and has the best effect, followed by squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma has the lowest sensitivity. In recent years, several drugs have been used in combination with different cell cycles. Preoperative bronchial intubation with anticancer infusion treatment can also shrink the cancer and increase the resection rate.

Preventing liver cancer is not only the patient's own business, but also requires the help of family members. People often say that family members are the best helpers. At this time, family support and assistance should be brought into play to allow patients to have a good treatment and rest environment. It is very important to take care of liver cancer patients. Usually pay attention to the symptoms of cancer patients and pay attention to the details of life. I wish you all good health.
