A neighbor's grandfather got primary liver cancer, because many people say that cancer treatment is particularly difficult, and patients also have to bear a lot of pain. But in fact, surgery is the best treatment. Next, I will tell you whether primary liver cancer can be cured.

Can primary liver cancer be cured

First, operation is the first choice and the most effective method for the treatment of liver cancer. The operation methods include: radical hepatectomy, palliative hepatectomy, etc. For unresectable liver cancer, according to the specific situation, the treatment of intraoperative hepatic artery ligation, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, radiofrequency, cryotherapy, laser and microwave has certain curative effect. Primary liver cancer is also one of the indications for liver transplantation.

The second is chemoembolization. If the tumor is found unresectable by laparotomy, or as the follow-up treatment of palliative resection of tumor, regional chemoembolization can be performed by placing a pump in the hepatic artery and / or portal vein (subcutaneous embedding perfusion device). For those who are estimated unresectable by surgery, interventional radiotherapy can also be performed. Selective catheterization through the femoral artery to the hepatic artery and injection of embolic agent (usually) Chemoembolization with lipiodol and anticancer drugs can give some patients the chance of surgical resection.

Third: radiotherapy can be used for patients with good general condition, good liver function, no cirrhosis, no jaundice, ascites, hypersplenism and esophageal varices, limited cancer, no distant metastasis and unsuitable for surgical resection or postoperative recurrence. Commonly used are immune ribonucleic acid, interferon, interleukin-2 thymosin, etc., which can be combined with chemotherapy.
