There is no research to suggest that eating turtles is particularly beneficial for liver cancer, and turtle meat is only used as a source of protein.
Turtle meat contains more proteins and vitamins, consuming turtle meat can be an option to supplement proteins, but there is no research confirming that eating turtle meat has therapeutic effect on patients with liver cancer. Liver cancer patients should go to the hospital and follow the doctor’s prescription for treatment, and should not easily try the so-called folk remedies.
For liver cancer, the first choice of treatment is still surgery, which is proven to be the most effective way.
For those with good general condition and small tumors, radical hepatectomy is performed; if the tumors are multiple or too large, palliative hepatectomy can be performed; if the surrounding organs have been invaded, on the basis of removing the primary tumor, it is also necessary to remove the invaded organs as well.
If inoperable, hepatic artery embolization chemotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, microwave therapy and so on can be carried out according to the specific situation. Patients should seek medical attention in a timely manner and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
