Case: In July 2013, the author saw a 62-year-old male patient. The patient underwent right hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma in September 2012 and was diagnosed as “hepatocellular carcinoma, coarse beam type”. One month after the surgery, he underwent intervention (hepatic artery cannulation chemoembolization (TACE)) to prevent recurrence. In July 2013, the patient underwent ultrasound and liver enhancement CT at an outside hospital, which revealed multiple recurrent foci in the liver. After the author received the patient, he underwent liver-enhanced magnetic resonance examination, which also suggested multiple recurrent foci in the liver. Diagnosis: postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (multiple foci), cirrhosis, and hepatitis B. The patient was hospitalized in our department for several times. He was hospitalized in our department for several times, and three interventions and several percutaneous hepatic puncture anhydrous alcohol intratumoral injections (abbreviated as PEIT in English) were arranged and combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment. Chinese medicine treatment program: 1 to 2 kinds of Chinese patent medicines, combined with herbs (tonics), Chinese medicine by the author according to the four diagnostic data of the prescription, herbs regularly adjust the prescription, the patient is instructed to Chinese medicine treatment without interruption. Through the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, the patient’s intrahepatic cancerous mass was gradually reduced in number, and the size of the cancerous mass was gradually shrunk.In April 2015, the patient was hospitalized for review, the liver function was completely normal, the hepatitis B virus and cirrhosis were well controlled, and the enhanced magnetic resonance suggests that there is only one 1 cm active lesion left in the liver. For the last small lesion, we gave three PEIT treatments for complete elimination, and asked the patient to continue to take traditional Chinese medicine to prevent recurrence. Analysis: The patient’s cancer mass was 6 cm at the time of surgery and was of a coarse beam type, both of which suggested a high risk of postoperative recurrence, i.e., it was prone to recurrence. Despite the Western medicine intervention to prevent recurrence, the power was not enough and did not cooperate with Chinese medicine treatment, which eventually led to the emergence of multiple recurrent foci in less than a year, which showed that the postoperative anti-recurrence measures were not comprehensive. After receiving the diagnosis, the author believed that the two main factors, hepatitis B and cirrhosis, led to the soil of the patient’s liver being suitable for the growth of cancer cells. If the goal of treatment is only to eliminate the visible lumps of cancer without improving the soil of the liver, the result will be more and more lumps of cancer. In order to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of the disease, we used multiple interventions and PEIT to eliminate the visible cancerous lumps as a target; at the same time, we used traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy to improve the soil of the patient’s liver so that it is not suitable for the growth of the cancerous cells, so as to treat the root cause of the disease. The treatment results met the expectation and the condition was effectively controlled. TCM is whole body regulation, multi-target, multi-pathway and multi-level function. Western medicine intervention and PEIT have direct damage effect on liver, but the patient took Chinese medicine uninterruptedly and the liver function was completely normal in each hospitalization review, which indicated that the role of Chinese medicine in liver protection was clear. Multiple interventions can easily cause hepatitis B virus outbreak, but the hepatitis B virus in the patient’s blood was undetectable every time, suggesting that traditional Chinese medicine can control and stabilize the hepatitis B virus. Cirrhosis causes hypersplenism, which further causes low platelets, so platelets reflect the severity of cirrhosis. When this patient was seen by the author in July 2013, the platelet was 69, and the platelet was 73 in April 2015 when he was hospitalized for laboratory tests, which, combined with the liver function indexes, indicated that the patient’s cirrhosis had been completely controlled, and it was also attributed to the regulating effect of traditional Chinese medicine. Liver cancer is a localized manifestation of systemic disease, and the whole body’s internal environment and liver soil have an impact on cancer cells. In other words, diet, medication, mindset, whether to exercise and daily living can all affect the cancer cells. The patient’s shortcoming is that his mentality is not well regulated, and if he can have an all-round integrated treatment, he may have better efficacy.
