How to treat patients with advanced liver cancer

Treatment for patients with advanced stage of liver cancer includes general treatment, drug treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, local intervention therapy and surgery. 1. General treatment: general treatment for advanced liver cancer is mainly reflected in diet and spirit. Patients with advanced stage of liver cancer need to have a light diet, and the food needs to be easy to digest, and serious patients can take liquid diet. At the advanced stage of liver cancer, patients need to communicate with patients more often to comfort them and relieve their tension and anxiety. 2. Drug therapy: Drug therapy for advanced liver cancer mainly uses drugs to relieve systemic discomfort, such as diuretic drugs (furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide tablets), protect liver function (magnesium isoglycyrrhizate, reduced glutathione, etc.), antiviral drugs (e.g. entecavir, sofosbuvir, etc.), and targeted therapy drugs (e.g. sorafenib, lenvatinib, etc.). 3. Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy for advanced stage of liver cancer, using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells, can control the development of tumor and prolong life appropriately. 4. Chemical drug therapy: chemical drugs can be used to control the development of advanced liver cancer, such as oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and so on. 5. Local interventional therapy: If there is no distant metastasis of advanced liver cancer, local interventional therapy can be used, i.e. injecting drugs or embolic agents through liver blood vessels, focusing on the surrounding of the tumor, wrapping the tumor, and then controlling the development of the disease temporarily and prolonging the life. 6. Surgery: If there is no distant metastasis, or the metastasis is relatively single, the tumor is relatively small, and the patient’s physique can withstand the surgery, surgical resection can be carried out, which may control the development of the disease and prolong the life. Patients with advanced liver cancer should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying their condition.
