What should you pay attention to after liver cancer interventional treatment? Five things to pay attention to after being discharged from liver cancer interventional treatment

Interventional therapy is a relatively popular and effective method for treating liver cancer in modern medicine. It is a minimally invasive treatment method that makes tiny channels with a diameter of several millimeters in the blood vessels or skin, or through the original channels of the human body, and treats the lesions locally under the guidance of imaging equipment (angiography, fluoroscopy, CT, MR, B-ultrasound) without exposing the lesions through surgery.

At present, interventional treatment of liver cancer has been widely used in clinical practice. Even for patients with advanced liver cancer, most of them can achieve tumor control after interventional treatment. In particular, it has important clinical significance for improving the quality of life of patients and prolonging their survival.

So, what should patients pay attention to after being discharged from the hospital after interventional treatment for liver cancer?
