Should mid-term liver cancer be treated surgically

summary

Recently, I have a poor appetite and feel tired. I always feel dull pain in the liver area. It has lasted for a week. I went to the hospital for examination and said it was liver cancer. After expert treatment, it has gradually recovered. In order to avoid such a situation, let's talk about whether mid-term liver cancer should be treated surgically.

Should mid-term liver cancer be treated surgically

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

Usually eat more steamed cauliflower. Steaming cauliflower for three or four minutes can greatly increase the efficacy of the anticancer substance "sulforaphane". It should be noted that the microwave oven should not be used for heating, otherwise the substance will be destroyed, which also needs more attention in the prevention of liver cancer. In addition, often eat garlic can also prevent liver cancer, garlic alliinase has anticancer effect. If garlic is sliced and stored in the air for 10 minutes, alliinase will play a more significant role in anti liver cancer.
