Different surgical methods, such as partial hepatectomy, local hepatectomy, lobectomy, hemihepatectomy and trilobal hepatectomy, are often determined according to the general situation of patients, the degree of liver cirrhosis and the location and size of tumors. However, surgical treatment is risky, expensive, with obvious side effects and limited use.
2. Liver transplantation
Liver transplantation is an effective method to treat liver cancer, but it has serious limitations, firstly, the lack of liver source, secondly, the high risk of operation, great side effects, lifelong drug maintenance, easy immune rejection and ethical pressure, so its use is very limited.
3. Interventional therapy
Interventional therapy of liver cancer refers to regional local chemotherapy by injecting anticancer drugs or embolic agents into hepatic artery through femoral artery cannula. Interventional therapy has a certain effect, but the effect is not ideal for patients with too large tumor, which still damages normal liver cells, and a few patients even have abnormal liver function.
4, Chinese medicine treatment
Traditional Chinese medicine is a method used by many patients with liver cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine has the function of conditioning and health care for patients with liver cancer, but it has a slow effect on disease treatment and lacks pertinence.
5. Radiofrequency ablation
This technology makes the treatment of liver cancer minimally invasive without surgery. Radio frequency electrode needle is only aimed at liver tumor and has no effect on other liver tissues, which is very important for patients with severe liver cirrhosis to preserve functional liver tissues as much as possible. After treatment, the patient can be discharged from the hospital and rest in 1-2 days, with little pain, and can return to normal life in a few days.
