Do liver cancer patients have to undergo chemotherapy?

There are different treatment modalities for different tumor stages, for example:

Early stage

Surgical treatment is the mainstay

Mid-stage

Local treatment, including TACE, radiotherapy, etc.

Advanced stage

Treatment with systemic therapy, including chemotherapy (FOLFOX4 regimen with oxaliplatin), molecular targeting drugs, and Chinese herbal medicine

Chemotherapy must meet the indications for chemotherapy and not be contraindicated. If patients have concerns about chemotherapy they can try molecularly targeted drug therapy, such as sorafenib and lenvatinib.

End-stage

Symptomatic supportive care, palliative care, and care are the mainstays
