What are the treatments for liver cancer?

There are mainly the following treatments for liver cancer:

Surgery: for early liver cancer, locally progressed liver cancer and patients with few liver metastases, surgical resection is the preferred treatment method.

Local treatment: including local treatment methods such as hepatic artery chemoembolization (TACE), radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation and so on. These methods are usually indicated for those patients who cannot be treated surgically, but the effectiveness of treatment and side effects need to be evaluated as well.

Chemotherapy: the use of anti-cancer drugs to treat liver cancer is usually used in the treatment of advanced liver cancer. Only some liver cancer patients are suitable to receive chemotherapy due to reasons such as diminished liver function, and the side effects are high.

Targeted therapy: Aiming at the molecular structure of liver cancer, targeted therapy can make the drugs more precisely target the tumor cells. There are already some targeted drugs for liver cancer. Targeted drugs have relatively fewer side effects but are more expensive.

Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy is a method of recognizing and attacking tumor cells by activating the body's immune system. A number of immune drugs have been approved for the treatment of liver cancer.

Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is a method of killing tumor cells through high-energy rays. It can be used to shrink tumors, relieve symptoms or combined with other treatments.

Interventional therapy: Interventional therapy is a method of killing tumor cells or stopping their growth by inserting a catheter into a blood vessel of the tumor and then injecting chemotherapy drugs or embolic agents.

Overall, the treatment of liver cancer needs to be individualized according to the patient's specific conditions, including surgery, local treatment, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and interventional therapy to achieve the best treatment effect.
