Is the cure rate of small liver cancer high?

Is the cure rate of small liver cancer high? The key to the treatment of liver cancer is to be timely. If it is surgically removed in the early stage, the cure rate is still relatively high, generally reaching about 80%. However, since this is a malignant tumor, it is best to focus on prevention. The following is a detailed introduction to this aspect:

Early treatment: The smaller the liver cancer, the better the curative effect after radical treatment. Currently, the 5-year survival rate after resection of small liver cancer is 60%~70%, while the 5-year survival rate after resection of large liver cancer is only about 20%.

Comprehensive treatment: There is no specific treatment for liver cancer so far. The rational and planned combined application of multiple methods can significantly improve the efficacy.

Active treatment: Facts have proved that retreatment is the key to improving the efficacy. Re-treatment of liver cancer recurrence and metastasis, such as interventional treatment via the hepatic artery, multiple treatments with injection of anhydrous alcohol, microwave solidification, focused ultrasound treatment, etc., can further improve the efficacy.

Surgical resection is the first choice for early liver cancer. If the tumor is deep and surgery is difficult, percutaneous anhydrous alcohol injection can be used. Interventional therapy or other treatments through arterial catheterization can also be used. Surgery is also the first choice for the treatment of stage II liver cancer. The surgical methods can be divided into radical resection and palliative resection according to the condition. It can be combined with intra-arterial chemotherapy and embolization, or anhydrous alcohol injection during surgery. The preferred treatment method for stage III liver cancer is intra-arterial catheter chemotherapy and embolization. If possible, a second-stage surgical resection can be performed after the tumor shrinks.

For the treatment of malignant tumors, the patient's mentality is very critical. A good mental state plays a very good role in completely curing the disease and preventing the recurrence of malignant tumors. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with liver cancer, whether in the early or advanced stages, pay attention to adjusting their own mental state.
