How long can children live after liver transplantation

summary

Recently, I don't know what happened. I found that the child was always crying and sometimes it couldn't be coaxed. He just said that he was in pain. He felt the liver and said that it was painful. I took him to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that he had liver cancer and suggested liver transplantation. He was very flustered. Let's talk about how long children can live after liver transplantation.

How long can children live after liver transplantation

First, how long you can live is closely related to the timing and method of treatment. As for the life span of patients after illness, it is determined by many factors, such as the patient's condition, treatment, and the patient's own physical, mental and psychological factors.

Second: liver transplantation is often used as the last treatment for liver cancer patients. Generally speaking, it is only when the liver function of the patients is almost lost. After transplantation, the life span can be extended for several years. The specific years vary from person to person. In addition, it is very important to find a suitable liver source, not to say that you can do it if you want to.

Third: the 5-year survival rate of patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma is as high as 70% - 80%, which is significantly higher than that of other treatment methods, such as surgical resection and interventional therapy. The recurrence rate after 5 years is very small, almost zero. Because of the risk of recurrence, the 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced liver cancer is less than 50%, about 30%, and generally only one to two years.
