Currently, China’s treatment of liver cancer much progress to liver cancer in the past, the “incurable disease” into an “part of governance”, 5-year survival rate increased from 2.6% to 20.6%. First, the goal of the treatment of liver cancer cure and the second is to prolong the survival period of three is to alleviate suffering and improve the quality of life. Early detection and early treatment is the way to improve the effect of liver cancer.
Mr Yeoh said, liver resection is still the best effect of the therapy. All clear diagnosis of liver cancer, tumors of the small, with possible decompensated liver function is good, normal prothrombin time, no jaundice, ascites or distant metastasis, good body condition, no other serious organic diseases, can tolerate surgery should continue to fight for radical treatment .
The clinical findings HCC has entered more advanced, and about 80% of liver cancer patients with cirrhosis, to implement radical resection of liver cancer only a few, most of the HCC relied mainly on treatment. Of these patients improve the quality of life and prolong survival time is the main goal of treatment. Combined therapy is the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma basic principles, and the first selection of appropriate non-surgical resection of the local therapy to kill cancer cells is the large number of treatment centers link. The current clinical application of the various local therapy include: hepatic artery embolization, alcohol injection, RF, microwave, laser, frozen, in a variety of local therapy, immune therapy at the same time, targeting therapy, gene therapy, Chinese medicine treatment is the main means of the treatment of liver cancer.
The percutaneous femoral artery puncture hepatic artery embolization is not surgical treatment of choice for patients with liver cancer treatment. Its principle is based on the normal liver tissue blood supply from the hepatic artery 25%, 75% from the portal vein and liver cancer nodules blood supply from almost all hepatic artery. If the tumor to provide nutritional support for the hepatic artery embolization intubation, not only can block cancer blood supply, limit tumor growth, can also lead to cancer tissue necrosis and narrow, without causing liver failure. The interventional radiology meeting: 3,807 cases of hepatic artery embolization using the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, one-year survival rate of 35.5% -62.5%. Embolization was pure survival 10 years of records.
Yes ethanol injection therapy ultrasound or CT-guided, percutaneous needle into the tumor in vivo, ethanol injection to treat tumors. The main mechanism is the use of ethanol dehydration on tumor tissue quickly fixed, allowing tumor tissue ischemic necrosis. The method is simple, painful small, less complications and lower costs. Ethanol can be injected into liver cancer that has significantly narrowed, it was reported 100% of the tumors were reduced 90% tumor regression greater than 30%, 60% tumor regression greater than 50%.
Radioactive seed implantation of a permanent inter-organizational liver cancer treatment is a new method, the medical profession and the image it was known as “particle knife.” It is through surgery or minimally invasive approach will have some more good packaging specifications, the activity of the radioisotope, the radiator duct or radiator directly to the liver cancer spread within the organization, according to sources and tumor size and shape, with a certain amount of the tumor tissue close, high-dose irradiation to achieve the purpose of treating diseases.
Radiofrequency ablation is a new technology in treatment of liver cancer, a safe, less complications, easy tolerance characteristics. Radiofrequency ablation is a heat effect, using the characteristics of tumors heat damage to tumor purposes. RF electrode needle tip scalable 10-bending hook small electrode, commonly referred to as the “warheads” in the organization was open umbrella, have the same uniform spherical coagulation necrosis.
