How does terminal liver cancer do

summary

My friend went to the hospital to do CT when he felt unwell, and the result was reported as advanced liver cancer. I learned from my medical students that advanced liver cancer can only survive for about half a year, and the treatment effect is not good. The doctor also made it clear that if the treatment has significant effect, it is estimated that it can last for one year, if not, it can only last for half a year. Now let me tell you what to do with advanced liver cancer.

How does terminal liver cancer do

First, surgical resection is still the first choice in the treatment of liver cancer. Early resection is the key to improve the survival rate. The smaller the tumor, the higher the five-year survival rate. The indications of operation are: ① definite diagnosis, the estimated lesion is limited to one or half of the liver; ② no obvious jaundice, ascites or distant metastasis; ③ liver function compensation is good, thrombin time is not less than 50%; ④ heart, liver and kidney function tolerance. In patients with normal liver function, the amount of hepatectomy should not be more than 70%; in patients with moderate cirrhosis, it should not be more than 50%, or only left hepatectomy should be performed; in patients with severe cirrhosis, hepatectomy should not be performed.

Second: Traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cancer is caused by deficiency of healthy qi, qi stagnation, phlegm coagulation and blood stasis for a long time. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the treatment of cancer should be based on the principle of "soft and firm, dispersing knot", which can prolong life, reduce pain, prevent recurrence and metastasis, and finally achieve "long-term survival with tumor". Liver cancer in traditional Chinese medicine clinical belongs to "liver accumulation", "distension", "jaundice" and other categories.

Thirdly, multimodal comprehensive treatment is an active and effective treatment for medium-term large liver cancer in recent years, sometimes making unresectable large liver cancer into resectable small liver cancer. There are many methods, usually based on the combination of hepatic artery ligation and hepatic artery intubation chemotherapy, combined with external radiotherapy for triple, such as combined with immunotherapy for quadruple. The effect of triple therapy is the best.

matters needing attention

In fact, liver cancer is one of the common cancers with high mortality. If the patient's body is OK, don't give up treatment. Warm drugs such as traditional Chinese medicine can be used, which will not cause any harm to the body and side effects, and will make the patient less painful in the end.
