What is interventional therapy for liver cancer

summary

Grandfather's health has not been very good, and every time I take him to the hospital for physical examination, I always find a reason not to go. Some time ago, I found that he was weak, so I dragged him to do the examination and learned that he was in the middle and advanced stage of liver cancer. Today, let me talk about the treatment of liver cancer.

What is interventional therapy for liver cancer

First, the so-called interventional therapy for liver cancer refers to a kind of regional local chemotherapy in which anticancer drugs or embolic agents are injected into the hepatic artery through femoral artery intubation. It is the preferred treatment method for non open surgery for liver cancer at present, and the curative effect has been confirmed. It is the best method for the treatment of advanced liver cancer. The main principle is to use local targeted drug perfusion, tumor vascular embolization and argon helium cryoablation to kill tumor cells and reduce the tumor load to the maximum.

Second, interventional therapy as a less harmful treatment has a certain effect. Interventional therapy of liver cancer is often used to perfusion chemotherapy, which is a kind of treatment method of concentrating forces to attack tumor, that is, through the arterial catheter, the drug is directly injected into the local area of liver cancer. It is the catheter through the peripheral artery to the hepatic artery, through the catheter directly injected into the liver lesions.

Third: interventional therapy is the first choice for unresectable liver cancer, mainly through the patient's thigh blood vessel to insert a catheter to reach the liver tumor site, and then the tumor is embolized / chemotherapy. Interventional therapy is also the first choice for liver cancer patients who are not willing to accept surgery. In order to achieve better therapeutic effect, we might as well take interventional therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment together, and take some drugs that can reduce the side effects of treatment and enhance the body's immunity.
