What are the causes of liver cancer? Liver cancer can be treated on both sides

For liver cancer, early detection and early treatment, especially for those who meet the surgical indications, have a good prognosis. Mr. Dou, 56, had dull pain in the 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. For such a result, I believe no family can bear such a blow.

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. Both hands 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.

Therefore, when a tumor is discovered, it is best to go to a regular specialized hospital and specialized department, listen to the opinions of experts, learn more about the pros and cons of treatment methods, and then make a rational choice based on the patient's condition, finances, etc.

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.
