Is there any treatment for patients with advanced liver cancer

Treatment one: the current treatment of liver cancer can be roughly divided into two categories, namely surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. The main surgical treatment is hepatectomy and liver transplantation. Generally speaking, the effect of surgical treatment is better. For example, after radical resection, the 5-year survival rate of patients with liver cancer can reach about 50% - 60%; for patients who meet the criteria of liver transplantation, the 5-year survival rate after liver transplantation can reach about 70%.

Treatment 2: non operative treatment includes percutaneous local ablation, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, radiotherapy and biotherapy. The 5-year survival rate of local ablation for small hepatocellular carcinoma is similar to that of surgical resection, while the 3-year survival rate of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma is about 30%.

Treatment 3: there are many kinds of treatment methods for liver cancer, and each treatment method has its own indications, that is to say, only the method suitable for the patient's condition is the best method. For example, the effect of surgical resection is better, but not all patients are suitable for surgical resection. They need to have better heart and lung function, liver tumor is limited, and there is no metastasis. If they do not have these conditions and force surgical resection, they will not get good therapeutic effect.

matters needing attention

Incidence rate of liver cancer is increasing year by year. It accounts for more than half of the total incidence of liver cancer in the world. It is a "big country of liver cancer" worthy of the name. Because the early symptoms of liver cancer are not very obvious, most patients are in the middle and late stage when they are found, which makes the mortality of liver cancer remain high, ranking the second largest cause of cancer death in China.
