What does interventional therapy have for advanced symptoms of liver cancer.
summary
Cancer is very common, and it is definitely the biggest killer of human beings. Uncle Zhang and I on the same floor had liver cancer checked out. Every day, their children are anxious to find the hospital, hoping that he can get better soon. Now I'll popularize the introduction therapy of advanced symptoms of liver cancer.
What does interventional therapy have for advanced symptoms of liver cancer.
First, minimally invasive interventional therapy: transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the first choice for patients with unresectable liver cancer. The principle is that 25% of the blood supply of normal liver tissue comes from hepatic artery, 75% from portal vein, and almost all the blood supply of liver cancer nodules comes from hepatic artery. In theory, if the hepatic artery branch providing tumor nutrition is intubated and embolized, it can not only block the blood supply of cancer tissue and limit the growth of tumor, but also lead to necrosis and shrinkage of cancer tissue without causing liver failure.
Second, alcohol injection: Pei was developed in 1982, mainly for the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma. Anhydrous alcohol injection therapy is to inject anhydrous alcohol or sclerosing agent into the tumor through percutaneous puncture under the guidance of interventional ultrasound. The main mechanism of action is to use anhydrous alcohol to dehydrate and fix the tumor tissue rapidly, making the tumor tissue ischemic necrosis. This method is easy to operate, less pain, less complications and low cost, but it also has side effects such as easy diffusion during injection and liver injury.
Third, percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT): it is not only suitable for small hepatocellular carcinoma, but also for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma by using the combination of multi-level, multi needle, multi point and multi power time, which can also achieve the effect of eliminating tumor. Moreover, the stimulation of coagulating necrotic tumor tissue can improve the body's immunity, modulate the residual or cancerous tissue cells, and open up a new way for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
matters needing attention
In fact, in addition to the above method, there is also a good, that is, permanent implantation of radioactive particles between tissues. It is a new method for the treatment of liver cancer, but it is very effective. However, there must be portal vein blood supply for liver cancer, but interventional embolization is out of reach. Some people's tumor embolized blood vessels are not as good as people's wishes.
