What is the best way to treat advanced liver cancer? What are the best ways to treat advanced liver cancer?

Patients with advanced liver cancer indicate that their condition is already very serious, and at this time they need a good treatment method. So what are the treatment methods for advanced liver cancer?

Common treatments for advanced liver cancer include:

Surgery and radiotherapy: Even if liver cancer reaches the terminal stage, some patients can still undergo surgery. If the metastasis site is single, the tumor is small, and the patient's physical condition can withstand surgery, surgical removal can be considered. However, in general, surgical removal is not recommended for the treatment of advanced liver cancer, because the physical condition of patients with advanced liver cancer is weak, or the disease has spread and metastasized, and they are not suitable for surgery. At present, clinical medicine's evaluation of the effect of radiotherapy for advanced liver cancer is not very high, mainly because advanced liver cancer patients often have varying degrees of liver function damage in addition to cirrhosis, and the side effects of radiotherapy can further affect liver function tests, thereby aggravating the patient's condition. This is a common treatment for advanced liver cancer.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Traditional Chinese medicine has played a very important role in the treatment of advanced liver cancer, and patients are relatively reliable in this regard. First of all, we must pay attention to the appropriate selection of treatment methods, and select specific treatment methods and drugs based on the patient's own conditions and the degree of development of the disease and its location. Secondly, we must pay attention to timely and effective treatment once diagnosed.

The best equipment for treating liver cancer at present - CyberKnife

CyberKnife technology is a specialized device used for radiosurgery of whole-body tumors. Under the guidance of intelligent imaging, it uses a robot arm to accurately and minimally invasively treat tumors with multiple beams of high-energy radiation, so that multiple beams of radiation are focused on the affected area to produce high-dose direct radiation, while protecting the surrounding normal tissues without causing damage. After 1-5 treatments, it can achieve the effect of removing tumors in all parts of the human body. The core of the CyberKnife system is interactive automation technology. This integrated system can detect the patient's location and the tumor's location before and during treatment, and then automatically perform X-ray direct radiation on the tumor with a precision of less than mm, so as to achieve the purpose of effectively treating tumors.

CyberKnife treatment process

Step 1: Treatment preparation, fixation, and image scanner positioning

Step 2: Develop a treatment plan on a computer

Step 3: Painless treatment The entire treatment process takes about 30 to 90 minutes. For patients who receive one-time treatment, they can leave the hospital after the treatment and resume their activities immediately. For patients who receive installment treatment, additional daily treatments will be carried out, generally not more than 5 times.
