How much does it cost to treat confirmed liver cancer? 4 categories of people who need to prevent liver cancer

Since liver cancer is a chronic disease with a long duration, the surgical conditions and charges for different clinical stages are different. The treatment methods used to treat liver cancer depend on the clinical stage of liver cancer, the patient's physical condition, the hospital's medical equipment, the patient's family burden and other realities. Therefore, the cost of liver cancer surgery is different in different hospitals; similarly, the same hospital charges different fees for different types of liver cancer; some abnormal large hospitals even charge different fees for different surgeons.

A Taiwanese man surnamed Wu was in the late stage of liver cancer and owed the hospital treatment fees. He was penniless and actually went to rob money. He got 800 yuan from the robbery, so he went to his friend's house to borrow money. He was finally caught by the police. The doctor wanted to give him a liver transplant, but he had no money left, so he pulled out the IV drip on his hand and left the hospital to rob. Seeing this, I can't help but sigh that illness not only takes away a person's body and money, but also may take away the bottom line of a person's life.

How much does it cost to treat liver cancer?

The cost of liver cancer treatment depends on the method used, the stage of the disease, and the size of the hospital. Generally, if it is a surgical operation, the cost of a Class A hospital ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Therefore, there is no uniform standard for this cost.

In the treatment of liver cancer, surgical treatment is more common, but if surgery is chosen, the patient's body must be able to withstand it first and have no other medical history. Chemotherapy and biological immunotherapy are also possible, which can improve people's quality of life. Biological immunotherapy is also expensive.

The treatment period of liver cancer is generally very long and the treatment process is also very slow. However, with the development of medicine, there are many new ways to treat liver cancer.

For many families, the cost of conventional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy is also a serious burden, especially under the current medical system, where seeing a doctor is relatively expensive. But if liver cancer can be cured, patients can eventually recover their health and prolong their lives, all of which are worth it.

People who need to prevent liver cancer

1. As the age of liver cancer onset is getting younger, patients with liver disease over 30 years old should have regular checkups to prevent liver cancer. Most cases detected in liver cancer screening are early-stage liver cancer with a small size, which can generally be removed locally. Since the resected liver part is small, it is more tolerable even for patients with a certain degree of liver cirrhosis.

2. Patients with hepatitis B virus infection and hepatitis C virus infection should strengthen liver cancer prevention. In my country, 90% of liver cancer patients have a background of hepatitis B virus infection, a small number have a background of hepatitis C infection, and a small number of patients have overlapping infections of hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

3. For patients who undergo radical surgical resection of liver cancer, the 5-year survival rate can reach 66%, but the probability of recurrence is still very high, so these patients should have regular check-ups.

4. In my country, the ratio of male to female liver cancer patients is 4:1, which shows that liver cancer poses a greater threat to male patients.

People who meet the above high-risk factors should undergo regular physical examinations to achieve early diagnosis and early treatment.
