What are the characteristics of portal vein tumor thrombus in advanced liver cancer? How to treat it?

Generally, in the late stage of liver cancer, the patient's physical fitness and immunity will become very poor. With the failure of various organs, some patients can no longer accept surgical treatment and can only use conservative treatment methods to relieve pain and reduce the occurrence of complications. However, symptomatic treatment is also required. In the late stage of liver cancer with portal vein cancer thrombosis, it is best to go to the hospital for hospitalization and receive systematic treatment.

Patients with advanced liver cancer have serious conditions, many complications, and poor physical conditions. Surgery is meaningless, and they can no longer bear the toxic side effects of Western medical treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with advanced liver cancer adopt conservative treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine to relieve the patient's painful symptoms and improve the quality of life.

The presence of cancer thrombi in blood vessels only indicates that tumor cells are attached to the blood vessel wall with the blood flow and do not grow in other internal organs. Moreover, not all thrombi are living cancer cells, but there are other components. However, the presence of cancer thrombi in blood vessels greatly increases the risk of distant metastasis. The survival rate of advanced diseases with distant metastasis and diseases with cancer thrombi in blood vessels is different, and the treatment is also different.
