How to prolong life in the late stage of liver cancer? This treatment of late stage liver cancer can improve the survival rate

Liver cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in my country. According to incomplete statistics, about 110,000 people die of liver cancer in my country every year, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year. It is often called the "king of cancer" due to its high malignancy and high mortality rate. Many patients become discouraged and give up treatment after being diagnosed with advanced liver cancer. However, timely treatment of advanced liver cancer can extend the life span. Let's take a look at the following introduction for specific treatment methods!

What to do with advanced liver cancer? Comprehensive interventional therapy can improve survival rate

1. Liver cancer patients are often in the middle or late stages when they are discovered

First, liver cancer does not have any obvious symptoms at the beginning, so it is often ignored; second, many people lack health care knowledge and medical common sense. Some patients do not receive formal treatment when they find early symptoms of liver cancer, but use folk remedies indiscriminately, delaying the disease; third, my country is a country with a high incidence of hepatitis, and more than 80% of liver cancers have a history of hepatitis B. Many patients with symptoms such as upper abdominal distension, abdominal pain, fatigue and loss of appetite think that they are just hepatitis, but do not think it is a malignant tumor. By the time they are diagnosed with liver cancer, it is often in the late stage.

2. Comprehensive interventional therapy brings new hope to patients with advanced liver cancer

In the past, liver cancer was generally treated with surgery, but by the time of diagnosis, most patients had already reached the middle or late stages of the disease, often missing the opportunity for surgery or having poor surgical results.

Nowadays, with the development of society, interventional therapy, targeted drug therapy, immunotherapy, minimally invasive therapy, traditional Chinese medicine therapy, biological therapy, etc. have been used in the treatment of liver cancer. For example, interventional therapy in the field of minimally invasive treatment is a relatively good method. However, there is still a lack of long-term effective treatment methods for liver cancer. In clinical practice, interventional therapy and drugs are generally combined according to the patient's condition for comprehensive treatment.

According to experts, the earlier the liver cancer is treated, the better the effect. Generally, in the early stage, the five-year survival rate after surgery can be as high as 50-60%. In the late stage, patients are generally recommended to undergo comprehensive treatment with interventional therapy as the main method, and the five-year survival rate is about 20-30%. Some patients are still in good health ten years after treatment.

Through interventional targeted combined treatment, the development, metastasis and recurrence of tumors are effectively blocked, making it possible to live with tumors. Although current treatment methods cannot completely cure malignant tumors, cancer is no longer an incurable disease, and living with tumors can also pursue a good quality of life. Cancer will become a chronic disease.

3. To prevent liver cancer, you must follow three rules and three don’ts

Faced with such a high incidence of diseases, we should take preventive measures. First of all, we must get the hepatitis B vaccine regularly. Children must be vaccinated from an early age, which blocks a major path to liver cancer. Secondly, we must develop healthy eating habits, avoid eating moldy food, especially stay away from carcinogens such as aflatoxin, try to avoid drinking ditch water, deep well water, and drink less alcohol. Finally, we must have regular physical examinations, especially hepatitis B patients should have regular follow-up examinations to prevent liver cirrhosis.
