What are the treatment methods of liver cancer metastasis

summary

My colleague's father was diagnosed with liver cancer last year. Recently, he said that there was metastasis again. What are the treatment methods for liver cancer metastasis? Let's learn about it through the following introduction.

What are the treatment methods of liver cancer metastasis

First of all, metastatic liver cancer is more common, early no obvious symptoms. The most common symptom is liver pain, but it usually appears later. Other late manifestations included hepatomegaly, jaundice, ascites, weight loss and cachexia. According to the time relationship between the clinical manifestations of metastatic liver cancer and primary cancer, the disease can be divided into early type, synchronous type and late type.

Secondly, surgical resection is the only way to make it possible for patients to be cured. The indications of surgical resection are as follows: 1) the primary cancer can be resected or cured; 2) there is no extrahepatic metastasis; 3) if the metastatic tumor is single or even multiple, but the metastatic tumor nodule is limited in one lobe or half of the liver, it is possible to perform hepatectomy.

Finally, after surgical treatment, the survival time of patients varies greatly. There are many factors that affect the postoperative survival: 1) the time interval between resection of primary tumor and resection of metastatic liver cancer. The shorter the time from the occurrence of metastatic cancer to the resection of primary cancer, the worse the prognosis. 2) The number of liver metastases and the extent of invasion. The 1-year and 2-year survival rates of patients with localized liver metastasis were 100% and 53% respectively, while the 1-year survival rate of patients with non localized liver metastasis was only 45%. 3) Type of operation. The 5-year survival rate was only 13% after lobectomy, 21% after segmental hepatectomy, 3% after hepatectomy, and 24% after hepatectomy. 4) Primary cancer type. The patients with liver metastasis from rectal cancer had the best prognosis. The 2-year survival rate after hepatectomy was 80%. The patients with liver metastasis from gastric cancer had a poor prognosis. There was no 2-year survival rate after hepatectomy. Therefore, if the patients with liver cancer are diagnosed, they must go to the hospital regularly for examination, so that the doctor can know the development of the disease in time.

matters needing attention

If early detection of liver cancer, according to the current technology, there is still the possibility of complete cure, so once the above symptoms appear in the body, we must check in time, absolutely not delay. In addition, liver cancer is caused by excessive drinking, so we must pay attention to drinking in our life.
