summary

Some time ago, my father often felt pain in the liver area, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. He took him to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that it was liver cancer, so he had to treat it quickly. Now it's almost good. Today, I'd like to share with you the treatment of primary liver cancer with traditional Chinese medicine.

TCM treatment of primary liver cancer

Treatment one: surgical treatment. Generally speaking, surgical treatment is the first choice for patients who can receive surgical treatment. After radical resection, the 5-year survival rate of patients with liver cancer can reach 50% ~ 60%, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with liver transplantation can reach about 70%.

Treatment 2: non operative treatment, including percutaneous local ablation, hepatic artery embolization, radiotherapy, biotherapy, etc. The 5-year survival rate of local ablation for small hepatocellular carcinoma is similar to that of surgical resection, while the 3-year survival rate of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma is about 30%. Similarly, the effect of local ablation for small hepatocellular carcinoma is good. For larger hepatocellular carcinoma, local ablation can not completely kill the tumor, and the effect will not be good.

Treatment 3: a variety of methods for the treatment of liver cancer, each method has its own indications, that is to say, only the method suitable for the patient's condition is the best method.

matters needing attention

The damage degree of alcoholic liver disease is closely related to the amount, time and way of daily drinking. Alcohol needs to be metabolized by the liver in the human body, and acetaldehyde produced by metabolism has great toxicity to the human body. Long term and large-scale drinking can lead to cell damage, fat deposition in liver cells, inflammation and necrosis of liver cells, proliferation of fibrous connective tissue, and eventually lead to liver cirrhosis, some of which will turn into liver cancer.
