Introduction to liver cancer embolization interventional surgery? Learn about interventional therapy

Among many diseases, cancer is the most terrible. People are terrified when talking about cancer, and cancer patients cannot bear the pain of the disease. There are many types of cancer, and liver cancer is relatively common. There are many treatments for this disease, and liver cancer embolization intervention surgery is one of them. This surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, which takes a short time and is effective for treating early cancer.

Embolization interventional therapy for liver cancer is a type of regional chemotherapy that involves injecting anticancer drugs or embolic agents into the hepatic artery via femoral artery catheterization. It is the preferred method for non-laparotomy treatment of liver cancer, and its efficacy has been confirmed.

Interventional therapy is currently the first choice for treating unresectable liver cancer. It mainly involves inserting a catheter through the patient's thigh blood vessels to reach the liver tumor site, and then performing embolization/chemotherapy on the tumor. Interventional therapy is also the first choice for liver cancer patients who are unwilling to undergo surgery. Compared with surgery, the advantages of interventional therapy are less trauma to the patient, shorter operation time, lower single treatment cost, and good short-term treatment effect on liver cancer.

The disadvantage of interventional therapy is that most tumors cannot be completely necrotic and multiple treatments are required. Poor long-term effects are also the main disadvantage of interventional therapy, and few people survive for more than 3 years. In order to achieve better treatment effects, it is advisable to combine interventional therapy with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and take some drugs that can reduce the side effects of treatment and enhance the body's immunity.

Liver cancer patients should go to a regular liver disease hospital for treatment, take medicine under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid drugs that damage the liver. Liver cancer patients should rest more, avoid fatigue, do not engage in physical labor, take medicine under the guidance of a professional doctor, and avoid missing doses and mistakes.
