How should liver cancer be treated in the late stage? Psychological manifestations and nursing strategies for liver cancer patients

There is no particularly effective way to eradicate liver cancer. In addition to early liver cancer resection, liver transplantation is also necessary. However, liver transplantation technology is not very mature, the five-year survival rate is not very high, and the cost is huge, which is not affordable for ordinary families. The surgical treatment of mid- and late-stage liver cancer is not very effective, and Western medicine has great side effects and high costs, which many patients cannot afford. Therefore, it is wise for patients who cannot undergo surgery or whose condition is stable before and after surgery to choose traditional Chinese medicine to treat liver cancer.

Use high-position retention enema to treat renal failure, use low-position retention enema to treat hepatic coma, etc., and cooperate with Western medicine when necessary to relieve pain, fight cancer, reduce inflammation, reduce fever, use diuretics, support treatment, fight coma, rescue gastrointestinal bleeding, and perform liver tumor intervention when the indications for liver intervention are met, etc. The close combination of Chinese and Western medicine is more conducive to eliminating the patient's physical symptoms, reducing the pain of liver cancer in the late stage, improving liver function, controlling the development of tumors, significantly improving the patient's quality of life and prolonging the patient's life.

What measures should be taken to treat liver cancer in the late stages?

1. First of all, you should maintain an optimistic mood and build up strong confidence in defeating cancer.

2. Proper exercise can make the blood flow smoothly and enhance the body's resistance. Avoid cold. "All diseases start from cold." When the body is stimulated by cold, the resistance is reduced and it is easy to induce disease.

3. The diet should be light and nutritious. Eat more vegetables, fruits, milk, soft-shelled turtles and other nourishing foods rich in amino acids, vitamins, proteins and easy to digest. Eat less greasy and heavy food; eat less dog meat, mutton and other warm nourishing foods; eat less seafood without shells, bamboo shoots, taro and other "irritants" that are easy to cause allergies; eat less drinks and snacks containing chemicals, preservatives and additives. Avoid irritants such as too sour, too spicy, too salty, tobacco and alcohol.

Liver cancer patients not only have the psychological problems of general patients, such as anxiety, fear, loneliness, role degradation, etc., but also have the special psychological problems of tumor patients. The manifestations vary according to different ages, genders, and cultural levels. Liver cancer patients are irritable and easily lose confidence due to poor treatment. Therefore, nurses should pay special attention to psychological care of patients in the process of caring for them.

Psychological manifestations and nursing strategies of liver cancer patients:

1. Suspicious patients, once they learn that they have cancer, will be restless, seek confirmation from many sources, and become nervous and suspicious. Therefore, medical staff should be cautious in their words and deeds, find out the purpose of the patient's inquiry, answer the patient's questions scientifically and tactfully, and avoid speaking directly to reduce the patient's degree of shock, so as to prevent the patient from losing confidence in treatment.

2. Fear Patients know that they have cancer and often show fear, despair, loss of hope for life, and worry about their loved ones. Nurses should sympathize with patients, give comfort, and encourage patients to actively accept treatment to avoid delaying the disease. They should also emphasize the role of psychology in the disease and encourage patients to accept treatment with a positive attitude.

3. When patients are diagnosed with cancer, they will feel pessimistic and disappointed, with more disappointment than expectation, depression, and unhappiness. At this time, nurses should show care, explain that the disease is being treated, and emphasize that a good mood is conducive to the prognosis of the disease.

4. After a period of time, the patient begins to accept the fact that he has the disease, his mood gradually stabilizes, and he places hope on treatment. Nurses should apply "suggestion" therapy in a timely manner, publicize the significance of treatment, and eliminate unfavorable factors for treatment, such as social factors, family factors, etc.

5. Disappointment or optimism. Because everyone's physique and degree of adaptation are different, the treatment effect is also different. Some patients have their condition under control, are good at adjusting their mood, and live in a harmonious emotional environment. Patients are in an optimistic state for a long time. Some gradually deteriorate, have a large response to treatment, a heavy economic burden, are physically exhausted, and are mentally depressed, waiting for death passively. Nurses should analyze the reasons for negative patients, provide psychological comfort, adjust the patient's mentality in time, and provide life guidance; for optimistic patients, they should provide rehabilitation guidance and pay attention to psychological changes so as to find problems and solve them in time.
