Cost of liver cancer transplantation

summary

My grandmother suffered from cancer. As soon as she was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, she already had symptoms of metastasis. Later, she became very serious. Her family decided to give him a liver transplant. Now that she has just finished the transplant, the doctor said it is still relatively successful. Many people asked me about the cost of liver cancer transplantation, and I would like to tell them that it is really not cheap.

Cost of liver cancer transplantation

First, there are a lot of patients with advanced liver cancer, and the cost of liver transplantation is very expensive. If a relative donates half a liver, the medical cost is about 300000-400000 (including the cost of cutting half a liver). If only liver cirrhosis, the final effect will be very good after successful operation (more than 80% probability).

Second, even if patients with advanced liver cancer are transplanted, they may not succeed. How much does liver transplantation for advanced liver cancer cost and whether it can prolong the survival period of patients? Generally, liver transplantation does not cost 200000 to 300000, which should be uncertain. Large hospitals in big cities usually need 500000.

Third, in many places, liver cancer transplantation needs about 400000 yuan. If all goes well without complications, the operation cost is about 25W, and it costs a lot within one year after operation, about 10W. The main reason is that the transplantation drugs are expensive. If the economy is not very well off, liver transplantation is not recommended, because liver transplantation can not cure liver cancer, can only prolong the life of liver cancer patients who can not be treated surgically, the time is about one year.

matters needing attention

Patients with liver cancer, especially in the advanced stage, should pay special attention to the nutrition of the body, which is very important to the patients. Patients with liver cancer should eat more protein rich foods, especially high-quality protein, such as lean meat, eggs, beans, milk, etc., to prevent the decrease of albumin. In the late stage of liver cancer, when the liver function is not good, we should control the protein intake, so as to avoid excessive protein intake induced hepatic encephalopathy.
