Is vascular interventional treatment for liver cancer effective? Can it relieve symptoms?

Vascular interventional treatment for liver cancer is effective and can relieve symptoms for patients. At the same time, a decrease in AFP can be found during examination. It is a two-pronged approach with relatively low cost.

Liver cancer is a relatively common cancer. The cure is related to the patient's condition, and the doctor should be consulted in choosing the treatment method. So, is vascular interventional treatment for liver cancer effective?
Choosing interventional treatment for liver cancer can have very good results. It mainly involves injecting the necessary anti-cancer drugs or embolic agents into the hepatic artery through femoral artery catheterization. It is a regional local chemotherapy treatment and a common non-laparotomy treatment method. It is also the first choice for liver cancer patients and its efficacy has been clinically confirmed.
The effect of intervention is more certain. People who have been successfully treated can find that AFP drops rapidly during examination, and the tumor will also begin to shrink and the pain symptoms will be alleviated. The local drug concentration of interventional treatment is ten times higher than that of systemic chemotherapy, which can effectively block the blood supply to the tumor. Therefore, the two-pronged approach has a better effect, and the toxicity to patients will be much less than that of systemic chemotherapy.
Interventional treatment for liver cancer is very simple and easy. It can also be chosen by the elderly, frail patients and patients with certain diseases. The diagnostic imaging is also very clear and can be repeated. Relatively speaking, the cost of interventional treatment is relatively low.
