What is the difference between large liver cancer and small liver cancer? There are three differences

When a patient develops liver cancer, there are many different manifestations, so it is necessary to distinguish clinically and then treat symptomatically. The treatment methods are also very different. So let's take a look at the difference between large liver cancer and small liver cancer?

1. Differentiation by definition <br/>Small liver cancer refers to a lesion with a diameter of no more than 3 cm. There are multiple lesions, the basic number of which is no more than 2, and the sum of the largest diameters is less than 3 cm. Large liver cancer refers to a lesion with a single diameter greater than 5 cm, and the lesion develops in an expansive manner, with capsules and pseudocapsules, which is a giant liver cancer. However, whether it is a large liver cancer or a small liver cancer, it is a tumor, and it is malignant, and its biological characteristics are the same. The onset of large and small liver cancers is related to viral hepatitis, water pollution, etc. Large liver cancer is related to drinking, and small liver cancer is caused by excessive fatigue of the patient.

2. There are differences in clinical manifestations between large and small liver cancers . Small liver cancer is a subclinical and early liver cancer with no obvious symptoms and signs of liver cancer. Symptoms include abdominal distension, fatigue, weight loss, liver pain and body discomfort as well as digestive tract symptoms. Large liver cancer is more malignant than small liver cancer, with obvious body masses and obvious symptoms, such as liver enlargement, liver masses, jaundice, ascites and other significant phenomena.

3. There are differences in the treatment of large and small liver cancers. There are many treatments for small liver cancers, such as surgical treatment, ablation, liver perfusion chemotherapy, embolization, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, Chinese medicine, etc., and radical treatment is the first choice, such as surgical resection. General comprehensive treatment has better efficacy. There are few treatments for large liver cancers. In addition to early surgical resection, non-surgical treatments are the only treatments for middle and late stage large liver cancers. Interventional therapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, etc. are all treatments...
Based on this analysis, there is a big difference between small liver cancer and large liver cancer, but no matter which type of liver cancer it is, you must seek medical attention in time, diagnose the condition, and achieve early detection and early treatment, so that you can prolong your life.
