Metastasis pattern of primary liver cancer

In clinical practice, the development of liver cancer is relatively common, but the cancer cells of liver cancer usually metastasize and recur in the process of development, and there is another situation that tumors from other parts spread to the liver – that is, secondary liver cancer. The following is a description of several metastases of liver cancer. Metastasis of liver cancer: 1. Lung metastasis of liver cancer: if a patient with liver cancer has continuous unexplained cough, or even blood in sputum, it may be a lung metastasis, which is almost the second place in the spread of liver cancer patients, and lung cancer also has poor chemotherapy effect, the best way is still radiotherapy. If the liver cancer is not too serious or has been “effectively controlled”, radiotherapy can be considered specifically for lung cancer, otherwise, it is still only possible to treat liver cancer while adding appropriate drugs for lung cancer in the Chinese medicine formula. 2.Lymph node enlargement of liver cancer: This is the most common spread of liver cancer in advanced stage liver cancer, which usually appears on the lymph in the abdominal cavity and is indicated as “lymph node enlargement” on ultrasound or CT report. Once lymphatic spread, the tumor will soon spread widely throughout the body, leading to accelerated deterioration of the disease, so lymphatic spread in liver cancer should be given sufficient attention. Therefore, once lymphatic spread of liver cancer occurs, it should be treated as “lymphoma”, and according to the current treatment technology, the effect of lymphoma chemotherapy and western medicine is not satisfactory, and only western medicine “radiation therapy” is more effective. If the liver tumor is still not too heavy, or if the liver tumor has been basically controlled, then measures should be taken to treat the lymphatic area, that is, radiotherapy should be done, and the better radiotherapy method is “photon knife” or “gamma knife At present, the better radiotherapy method is “photon knife” or “gamma knife”, but the cost is a little higher, while the old radiotherapy is less expensive, so patients can choose according to their own situation. However, if the liver tumor itself is already very heavy, or the liver tumor can no longer be controlled, it is not very meaningful to treat the enlarged lymph with radiation alone, so we can only add some Chinese medicine for lymphoma in the Chinese medicine prescription, and it is recommended not to do chemotherapy alone for lymphoma, because chemotherapy is not very meaningful for lymphoma, but the side effects will not be reduced, which will aggravate the condition of liver cancer. 3.Bone metastasis of liver cancer: one of the characteristics of bone cancer is pain. If liver cancer has fixed and persistent pain in a certain part of bone, maybe it is bone metastasis, which can only be treated with radiotherapy, and then continue to treat liver cancer if possible. Brain metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma: this is not much in hepatocellular carcinoma. The manifestation of brain metastasis is mainly mental problems, such as sudden disappearance of pain, dullness, unclear language and inability to express accurately, etc. There is no better treatment for brain metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma, so please forgive the medical inability to help.
