Liver cancer includes primary liver cancer and metastatic liver cancer. At present, primary liver cancer is in the majority in China, but metastatic liver cancer tends to increase gradually. Primary liver cancer can be divided into hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma mainly comes from liver cirrhosis, and cholangiocarcinoma mainly comes from chronic intrahepatic bile duct inflammation.
At present, it is considered that comprehensive treatment is needed for the treatment of liver cancer. Surgical treatment is the first choice for patients with liver cancer. Surgical treatment is only one part of it. After operation, whether chemotherapy or interventional treatment is needed should be selected according to the specific pathology. Sometimes radiofrequency ablation can also be used. For patients who have lost the opportunity for surgery in the late stage, interventional therapy, systemic chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy can be considered, which have certain effects and are beneficial to prolong the survival time of patients. Therefore, the surgical treatment of liver cancer is only one part of it, and there are auxiliary treatments after operation to help reduce the metastasis and recurrence of liver cancer.
Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine is the first choice for the treatment of advanced liver cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine dredging chemical fiber therapy developed by Handan Institute of liver diseases can affect the DNA synthesis of liver cancer cells and inhibit their proliferation; In addition, traditional Chinese medicine dredging chemical fiber method combined with intervention can reduce the damage of liver function, protect the residual liver function of patients, improve the treatment effect of liver cancer and the quality of life of patients, and prolong the survival time of patients.
Many cancer patients often turn to traditional Chinese medicine when various modern medical means such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are exhausted. "It is actually a misunderstanding to regard traditional Chinese medicine as the last treatment for cancer." traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment and the concept of "overall" treatment. If properly used, it can complement and complement each other with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In the treatment of liver cancer, the 5-year recurrence rate is still as high as 50% after surgical resection. Immediately after operation, combined with traditional Chinese medicine, strengthening the spleen and protecting the liver can improve the patient's body immunity, promote the recovery of viscera function and reduce the recurrence rate; For patients with liver cancer in the stage of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment can reduce the side effects of drugs and help to improve their quality of life and survival.
