summary

Interventional therapy for liver cancer may not be well understood by many people. It mainly adopts the method of making small channels with a diameter of a few millimeters on the blood vessels and skin, or local chemotherapy through the original pipes of the human body, without surgery, or some patients can not afford surgery, so as to help patients tide over the difficulties smoothly. My uncle is currently receiving this treatment, then, some people will ask, is interventional treatment of liver cancer useful? Now let me share some of my experience with you.

Is interventional therapy of liver cancer useful

First, interventional therapy is the first choice for the treatment of liver cancer. The common surgical methods are radical hepatectomy, palliative hepatectomy and so on. This method is the most effective way to treat liver cancer. But surgical treatment can only be used for the treatment of early liver cancer. If it's late, there's no need for surgery.

Second: Patients with liver cancer after interventional treatment will also have nausea and vomiting. This is caused by the stimulation of gastrointestinal tract by high concentration chemotherapy drugs. In order to reduce gastrointestinal reaction, fasting should be done for 2 hours before and after interventional surgery. Family members should pay attention to observe the amount and color of vomit, and do a good job in cleaning vomit, so as to keep patients clean and make patients comfortable as much as possible.

Third: Patients with liver cancer will have fever after interventional therapy. This is because the skin absorbs heat after the tumor necrosis. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 ℃ and the patient can tolerate it, it is not necessary to do cooling treatment, which is conducive to the absorption of necrotic tissue. But we should pay attention to the patient's warmth, indoor ventilation, close observation of body temperature changes, high fever to physical cooling, or drug cooling, and combined with antibiotic drug treatment, to prevent infection.
