Why does liver cancer do interventional operation
summary
Before, I just felt some pain in my abdomen, because I didn't have any other symptoms, so I didn't go to see it. But recently, the pain was so severe that I felt a little unbearable, so I went to the hospital for examination, and was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, so I need interventional treatment. Today, let me talk to you about the interventional surgery for liver cancer.
Why does liver cancer do interventional operation
One of the reasons: the advantages of interventional therapy for liver cancer are small trauma, short operation time, low cost of single treatment, and good short-term treatment effect for liver cancer. For example, the 1-year survival rate of patients receiving interventional therapy is nearly 70%, and the 2-year survival rate is nearly 40%. Interventional therapy can also transform part of unresectable liver cancer into resectable liver cancer, so as to improve the therapeutic effect.
The second reason: intervention combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment can effectively improve sensitivity, enhance treatment effect, reduce toxicity and relieve clinical symptoms. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine can improve human immune function, improve human disease resistance, control further metastasis and spread of cancer cells and improve treatment effect.
The third reason: generally 4-6 courses of interventional therapy, interventional therapy is a less harmful treatment method, mainly through the patient's thigh blood vessel to insert a catheter to reach the liver tumor site, the tumor embolization / chemotherapy. The disadvantage of interventional therapy is that most tumors can not be completely necrotic and need multiple treatment.
matters needing attention
Generally less than 5cm, no pain and no symptoms, patients will not take the initiative to check, early liver cancer unless ultrasound physical examination, it is not easy to be found, therefore, when liver cancer patients develop rapidly to late stage, only suitable for interventional treatment.
