Is it necessary to treat liver cancer in the late stage? How to treat it?

With the rapid development of medicine and medical technology, the emergence of new medical technology has made cancer no longer an incurable disease as people previously believed. Although liver cancer is a relatively difficult type of cancer to cure, it does not mean that it cannot be cured. Clinical medical practice in many countries has proven that early liver cancer can be cured. However, patients with advanced liver cancer can live with cancer for a long time with active and effective treatment, even if they cannot be cured. Their lives can even be extended by several years or even twenty or thirty years. Therefore, effective treatment of advanced liver cancer is still necessary. If you want to survive, you cannot give up treatment, and you must actively cooperate with effective treatment.

1. For patients with primary liver cancer and ascites:

It can be treated by giving diuretics. If it is bloody ascites, attention should be paid to hemostasis.

2. For patients with primary liver cancer and jaundice:

Jaundice is mainly caused by cancer compression, which leads to blockage and can be treated by local radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

3. For patients with diffuse metastasis throughout the lungs

Patients with diffuse metastasis throughout the lungs can be treated with biological therapy, chemotherapy, or traditional Chinese medicine.

4. For patients with primary liver cancer and lung metastasis

Lung metastasis can be divided into single metastasis or multiple metastasis. Single metastasis can be considered for re-resection through surgery; if it is multiple metastasis, it can be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

5. For patients with primary liver cancer bone metastasis

Similar to lung metastasis above, it can be divided into single, multiple or extensive metastasis. The former two can be treated with radiotherapy, while the latter requires radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or treatment with osteophospholipids and Acordant.

6. For patients with cancer thrombus in portal vein, hepatic vein, or inferior vena cava

In this case, perfusion chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine, or gamma knife surgery are often used. The specific method to be used depends on the individual situation.

The above is about the treatment of advanced liver cancer. Treatment is very important, and nursing is equally important. Good nursing methods can also effectively prolong the patient's life. The specific measures are as follows:

1. The diet should follow the principle of eating small meals frequently to reduce the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal tract and liver.

2. Your daily diet should be light, avoid strong flavors, and avoid eating foods that are boney, rough, hard, difficult to digest, and contain crude fiber.

3. Avoid eating spicy foods, pickled foods, and moldy foods.

4. A positive and calm attitude to deal with advanced liver cancer. We all know that the mentality affects the body. Since it has come, we should accept it. Since it is advanced liver cancer, after a short period of fear, anxiety and pressure, the patient must cheer up, face it calmly and actively cooperate with the treatment.
