How to treat portal vein tumor thrombus in liver cancer? Proton therapy is usually used

There are many different symptoms of liver cancer, and each symptom requires a different treatment and whether it can be cured. If the test results show portal vein thrombosis, it means that the patient's liver cancer has reached the middle or late stage, and it has affected the normal blood supply to the liver, which may cause the disease to spread. However, it is a miracle that some patients with portal vein thrombosis have been cured.

Portal vein tumor thrombosis is a major feature of liver cancer in the middle and late stages. Liver cancer is prone to invade the intrahepatic vascular structure, especially portal vein thrombosis. Some advanced liver cancers can also see tumor thrombosis invading the hepatic vein, inferior vena cava and even the right atrium. The survival period of portal vein tumor thrombosis is generally no more than 3 months. Portal vein tumor thrombosis is also the culprit for postoperative recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer.
Portal vein tumor thrombus of liver cancer can be treated with proton therapy. Proton therapy further improves the uniformity of tumor irradiation dose and dose distribution, with extremely accurate accuracy, minimal side effects, and a very high cure rate. It has basically no side effects on the tissues on both sides and behind the tumor, and does not affect other healthy tissues in the body.
If liver resection is possible, it should be performed as soon as possible and the thrombus should be removed during liver resection. Chemotherapy should be given after surgery to prevent recurrence. Traditional Chinese medicine has little effect on portal vein cancer thrombus, but it can regulate the body, make the patient less painful during treatment, and enhance tolerance to treatment, but it cannot be used as the main method of treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is only an auxiliary treatment for liver cancer combined with surgery and chemotherapy, so it needs attention.
Late-stage liver cancer is accompanied by portal vein cancer thrombus, which is a very dangerous situation. It can easily lead to portal hypertension and is quite dangerous. A treatment plan should be formulated in a timely manner.
