The best way to treat advanced liver cancer
summary
My father-in-law had no appetite for anything a while ago, and he lost a lot of weight. He didn't have much strength. He went to the hospital for examination. The test results showed that my father-in-law had liver cancer. After medication, his symptoms improved obviously. I'm so happy. Now let me talk about the best way to treat advanced liver cancer.
The best way to treat advanced liver cancer
Treatment 1: radiofrequency ablation is the representative treatment of minimally invasive treatment of liver cancer. It has the advantages of convenient operation, avoiding open surgery and short hospital stay. The long-term effect of radiofrequency ablation is similar to that of liver transplantation and hepatectomy. The essence of radiofrequency ablation is to precisely inactivate the whole tumor and minimize the damage to normal liver tissue. The premise of radiofrequency ablation is to control the tumor infiltration range and satellite focus Ultrasound is the first choice for radiofrequency ablation.
Treatment 2: microwave ablation is a common thermal ablation method, and there is no significant difference in local efficacy, complication rate and long-term survival compared with radiofrequency ablation. Microwave ablation technology can inactivate the tumor at one time. The tumor with rich blood supply can coagulate first, block the main nourishing blood vessels of the tumor, and then inactivate the tumor, which can improve the curative effect. The establishment of temperature monitoring system can regulate the effective thermal field range and ensure the coagulation effect.
Treatment 3: anhydrous ethanol injection is suitable for the treatment of small liver cancer with diameter less than or equal to 3cm and recurrent small liver cancer; for liver cancer with diameter more than 3cm and not suitable for operation or recurrence, it can also play the role of palliative treatment. In clinical practice, some cancer foci are close to the liver hilum, gallbladder and gastrointestinal tract tissue, and thermal ablation may easily cause damage. Therefore, we can consider using anhydrous ethanol injection and thermal ablation together to prevent complications.
matters needing attention
In the treatment of liver cancer, family members also play a very important role. First of all, they should give the patient spiritual and material support, enlighten the patient, give the patient the confidence to overcome the disease, encourage the patient to accept the appropriate treatment plan, and maintain an optimistic attitude. Second, they should do a good job in preoperative and postoperative nursing work, such as preparing the usual food (food allowed by the doctor) and more food for the patient Chatting with patients, proper massage, etc.
