Survival period of liver cancer portal vein tumor thrombosis? Usually only a few months

Liver cancer is a very complex malignant tumor. It does not react much in the early stage, and symptoms will not appear in the patient's body until the late stage. Some patients will be found to have portal vein cancer thrombosis after some detailed examinations. It has a high incidence rate in liver cancer, but the cause has not been identified. This disease will cause great damage to liver function, and the patient's survival period may be very short.

After the portal vein cancer thrombus is formed, it is easy to increase the pressure of the portal vein, accelerate the occurrence of gastric bleeding and liver failure, and is not conducive to interventional treatment, because interventional treatment is through the artery and has no effect on the cancer thrombus in the vein. The expected survival time is generally only a few months.
As for Chinese medicine, it is recommended not to blindly try traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions or quack doctor advertisements. Not only will it not help, it may also increase pain and accelerate the progression of the disease. You can choose liver-protecting drugs and gastric mucosal protection drugs according to the doctor's advice. If you really want to use Chinese medicine, it is more correct to consult a Chinese medicine expert in a regular hospital.
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.
The portal vein is the most important blood vessel entering the liver. Cancer thrombus in the portal vein can metastasize to multiple parts of the liver. Although this situation may not spread to other organs, it is still very advanced.
