How to treat primary liver cancer? 5 treatment measures for primary liver cancer

Secondary liver cancer may be a single nodule, but most of them are multiple nodules. Since the lesion has metastasized to the liver, it means that the primary cancer is in the late stage and cannot be surgically removed. The prognosis is poor. If the liver is only an isolated metastatic cancer nodule or the cancer nodule is limited to one lobe, and the primary cancer can be removed, the secondary liver cancer can be surgically removed at the same time as the primary cancer or in the second stage. If the primary cancer has been removed for a certain period of time before the liver metastasis occurs, the local lesion meets the conditions for resection, and there is no metastasis to other parts, it is also suitable for surgical resection. For secondary liver cancer that cannot be removed, according to the patient's condition and the pathological nature of the primary cancer, hepatic artery ligation, hepatic artery catheterization or placement of a subcutaneous buried perfusion device for hepatic artery perfusion chemotherapy, hepatic artery embolization or chemoembolization, B-ultrasound-guided tumor injection of anhydrous alcohol or anticancer drugs, systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, etc. can be selected.

Principles of TCM treatment of liver cancer:

(1) Treat the root cause of the disease: Liver cancer patients have liver disease, but their vital energy is severely damaged and their body fluids are obviously depleted. Under the guidance of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, the main treatment is to nourish Yin and strengthen the body. Do not blindly attack the cancer. If you blindly attack the cancer and ignore the weak body, the cancer may worsen.

(2) Treating both internal and external factors: TCM treatment of cancer must start from a holistic perspective. According to the ancient principle of "treating both internal and external factors in a unified way", the drugs can act directly on the lesions to attack toxins, fight cancer, relieve pain and improve the patient's quality of life.

(3) Stick to the prescription: When treating chronic diseases, stick to the prescription. Both the doctor and the patient should have confidence in it and avoid making major changes to the prescription. This is also the opinion of famous Chinese medicine experts.

(4) Pay attention to stomach qi: When treating chronic diseases, you must pay attention to stomach qi, because "with stomach qi, you live, without stomach qi, you fail."

(5) Strengthen nursing care: First of all, spiritual comfort should be provided to enhance confidence, mobilize the patient's subjective initiative, and actively cooperate with treatment. Food should be easy to digest, nutritious, protect the body's vital energy, and enhance immune function. For example, eating more fresh mushrooms, ganoderma lucidum, fresh crucian carp, milk, etc. can enhance disease resistance.
