Is chemotherapy needed after liver cancer surgery?

Whether patients need chemotherapy after liver cancer surgery depends on the specific situation. If it is early-stage liver cancer, chemotherapy is generally not needed. If it is mid- to late-stage liver cancer, chemotherapy is required.

1. No chemotherapy required:

Liver cancer is a common clinical malignant tumor. If it is not treated in time, it will cause great harm to the body. If it is early liver cancer, it generally has not spread or metastasized. It can be treated through timely surgical resection of the lesion. Chemotherapy is generally not required. Usually, daily care is done and regular check-ups are done in the hospital.

2. Need chemotherapy:

If liver cancer occurs in the middle or late stages, the lesions will spread and metastasize to a certain extent. After surgical intervention, chemotherapy is needed to effectively control the development of the lesions and improve the patient's quality of life.

During the treatment of the disease, we must actively cooperate to relax and maintain a good attitude. We can do some exercises according to our own situation, which can strengthen our physical fitness and improve our body's resistance.
