How to treat the interventional therapy of liver cancer

summary

Because my sister is a doctor, she is usually busy, so it's not easy to wait until her vacation, so I made an appointment to go shopping with her, but she received a phone call temporarily, saying that a patient with liver cancer was transferred to her hospital. Now let's talk about the interventional treatment of liver cancer.

How to treat the interventional therapy of liver cancer

First, interventional therapy for liver cancer is called interventional therapy for liver cancer. It is a minimally invasive treatment method that makes a small channel with a diameter of several millimeters on the blood vessels and skin without exposing the lesion, or through the original human tube, and under the guidance of imaging equipment (angiography machine, fluoroscopy machine, CT, Mr, B ultrasound).

Second: in liver cancer, vascular interventional therapy is mainly selective hepatic artery infusion therapy, selective hepatic artery embolization, selective hepatic artery chemoembolization. The main physiological basis is that 20% - 25% of the blood supply of normal hepatocytes comes from hepatic artery and 75% - 85% from portal vein. 90% - 95% of the blood supply of primary liver cancer comes from hepatic artery, which provides anatomical basis for vascular interventional therapy of liver cancer.

Third, the specific technical methods of the three are the same, that is, puncture a small hole of about 3-5mm on the skin, intubate from the artery to the blood supply artery of liver cancer, and then give drugs through the catheter. The difference is that the drugs given are different. Tai is treated by intra-arterial infusion of drugs at a dose equal to or less than intravenous administration through a catheter. In this way, the local drug concentration of target cells can be increased and the contact time between drugs and lesions can be prolonged, and the total dose of drugs in the whole body can be reduced, so as to improve the curative effect and reduce the side effects.

matters needing attention

Generally speaking, the interventional treatment of liver cancer has made great achievements at this stage. Therefore, if someone around you is suffering from liver cancer, you may as well try the interventional treatment of liver cancer. Patients must have enough confidence to face this disease.
