According to the current domestic and international guidelines for the treatment of liver cancer, the principle of treatment for liver cancer is comprehensive treatment based on surgical resection. The specific methods include hepatectomy, radiofrequency ablation, argon helium knife ablation, transhepatic artery interventional chemoembolization, radiotherapy, liver transplantation, etc. As for the treatment with partial prescriptions, native prescriptions and Chinese herbal medicine, it should be viewed rationally and dialectically. Generally, only for end-stage liver cancer that has lost the time for treatment, has metastasized systemically and other treatments have lost their meaning, Chinese herbal medicine and partial prescription treatment can be considered as a comfort treatment or the final choice.
