What are the symptoms of liver cancer? What is the cure rate of liver cancer?

The liver is a very important organ in the human body, and it is particularly important to protect the liver. Many people are confused about the symptoms of liver cancer, and patients blindly seek medical treatment, delaying the disease and bringing a great burden to the family. For this reason, experts interviewed Gao Pengji, chief physician of Peking University People's Hospital online to introduce in detail: What are the symptoms of liver cancer? What is the cure rate of liver cancer?

What are the symptoms of liver cancer?

The symptoms of liver cancer are related to the stage of liver cancer. Patients with early liver cancer will have symptoms such as dull complexion, loss of appetite, aversion to greasy food, liver palms, spider nevi, etc.; patients in the middle and late stages will gradually feel uncomfortable, liver function abnormalities will be significantly aggravated, and in severe cases, the skin and sclera will turn yellow; if there is a severe decrease in platelets and abnormal coagulation, it is easy to cause spontaneous bleeding, fatigue, weight loss, etc.

What is the difference between cirrhosis and liver cancer?

The difference between cirrhosis and liver cancer lies in the severity of the disease: 1. Cirrhosis is a benign disease. Due to viral hepatitis or long-term alcoholism, this disease gradually worsens, but the patient's condition is relatively stable. Only in the late stage of cirrhosis will liver function decompensation occur; 2. Liver cancer is a malignant disease that develops rapidly and is relatively difficult to treat, posing a life threat to patients. Clinical analysis requires laboratory tests and imaging.

What is the cure rate of liver cancer?

The cure rate of liver cancer depends on when the liver cancer is discovered. Early liver cancer has a certain chance of being completely cured after active treatment, but in general, liver cancer is highly malignant and prone to recurrence and metastasis. The survival rate of patients who undergo surgical resection is 40%-50%. Surviving for more than five years means that the liver cancer is completely cured. For advanced liver cancer, interventional physical therapy cannot completely cure the tumor, but can only control the tumor and thus prolong the patient's survival. Only a small number of patients in the middle and late stages can be cured.

Dr. Gao Pengji has introduced so much to everyone. I believe that everyone has a better understanding of liver cancer. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to healthy diet, proper work and rest, and physical exercise. I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
