Cost of interventional therapy for liver cancer
First of all, the cost varies greatly according to different hospitals. As a less harmful treatment, interventional therapy for liver cancer has certain effect. Interventional therapy of liver cancer is often used to perfusion chemotherapy, which is a kind of treatment method of concentrating forces to attack tumor, that is, through the arterial catheter, the drug is directly injected into the local area of liver cancer. It is the catheter through the peripheral artery to the hepatic artery, through the catheter directly injected into the liver lesions.

matters needing attention
After suffering from liver cancer, protein will be less and less, so we need to take it in our daily life, especially in diet. Liver cancer patients should eat more protein rich food, especially high-quality protein, such as lean meat, eggs, beans, milk and so on, in order to prevent the decrease of albumin. In the late stage of liver cancer, when the liver function is not good, we should control the protein intake, so as to avoid excessive protein intake induced hepatic encephalopathy.
