Is Liver Cancer really so terrible?
Cancer, for us is an ominous words. In the medical field, cancer is known as the “cancer of the King.” Is Liver Cancer really so terrible?
Yes, there is no perception of liver cancer in people quietly when malignant form, it often be found when it have already reached advanced stage. However, after the tireless efforts of physicians, part of the liver, or can be treated, not as people imagined a scourge as terrible. Key to treatment is based on the biological characteristics of cancer to develop effective treatment programs.
Liver disease is the diversity of incentives, cancer cells can also grow in several parts of the liver, the growth rate is uneven.Liver cancer is another feature of the clinical symptoms are not typical, diversity, and this caused inconvenience to the early diagnosis. Therefore, once cancer is found, mostly in late, so treat them quite cumbersome.
Liver cancer treatment:
1 gene therapy:
2, immunotherapy;
3, Chinese medicine and other therapies.
4, infusion chemotherapy after surgery;
5, conservative treatment;
Overall, however, present a more unified view is that surgical resection can, try to use chemotherapy after surgery intervention methods, surgical treatment is not preferred endovascular treatment; followed before considering other treatment methods.Here only talk about the involvement of liver cancer after treatment.
Since the origin of a number of characteristics of liver cancer, so when surgical removal of large lesions, the liver will still exist a number of smaller lesions, preoperative imaging studies to do, these small lesions may not be found. As the post-operative patients the body’s resistance to drop, the rapid development of these small lesions would, therefore, the treatment of liver cancer patients is extremely important. Using this treatment method has two advantages, first, to eliminate the lesions that have not yet grown up, and second, find some pre-identified small lesions are not more favorable prognosis estimation. Some scholars report, liver surgery using endovascular treatment than non-treated five-year survival rate higher than 40 percent.
How the liver after endovascular treatment?
First, the timing of intervention, in general, the best time for one month after liver cancer, liver cancer is due one month after surgery, the patient returned to normal, and even if there are lesions in the liver nor the memory would be too much, which is more conducive to treatment.
Specific treatment is: insert a catheter through the femoral artery to the hepatic artery, and where possible contact with foci, injection of contrast agent, the line DSA, if no detection of disease, chemotherapy infusion catheter can be, then the catheteriodized oil poured into the B 3 to 5 ml, and in the endovascular treatment CT scan done two weeks to observe the B retention of iodized oil in the liver, when the non-retention at 3 months after intervention and then repeat the above method, after two no abnormality was found after treatment, the interventional treatment can be repeated after 6 months, after repeated once every six months. If abnormal findings, it would take a month or re-intervention after surgical removal of lesions, re-intervention.
