2. Palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy: palliative radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy for metastatic sites are feasible for advanced patients, but generally liver cancer patients are insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are ineffective, and chemotherapeutic drugs include oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and so on.
