49-year-old Mr. Yao found fatty liver during a physical examination.

He was worried at first, but later the doctor told him that the condition was not serious and it was mild. If strict life intervention can be carried out, regular reviews can be conducted, or it can be reversed, and no medical treatment is required.

When the doctor said this, Mr. Yao was full of confidence and said that he could do it. After returning, he did start to change. He began to quit drinking and smoking, exercise every day, and his diet became healthy.

But it didn't last long. He drank a drink at a party with several old friends he hadn't seen for several years. Later, he felt that it was mild and there was no need to treat it, so there was no big problem. He tried to drink as little as possible and he should be fine to eat a healthy diet.

In addition, he did not go for regular reviews.

Three years passed like this, and three years later, he often felt abdominal pain. But I didn't take it seriously, thinking it was because of a bad stomach. It was not until one time that I couldn't bear the pain, but I went to the examination. I didn't expect that I found out that liver cancer was found, and it was already in the late stage.

His psychological changes were first shocked and terrified, and then despaired. After a long time, they finally turned into regret. Because he remembered that he had a fatty liver three years ago, but he didn't pay attention to it.

—Can fatty liver turn into liver cancer?

Fatty liver is a problem that many people will find during physical examinations now. It has a lot to do with long-term unhealthy living habits.

Generally speaking, as long as timely and reasonable intervention is carried out, it will not turn into liver cancer. For Mr. Yao, what he got was mild. If he could pass strict life intervention in time, he might recover slowly. However, if does not pay attention to it, and thinks it is just a small problem, and it has never reviewed it after finding it out, nor has it changed the habit of drinking, high-fat diet , etc., when it is not the same, it will slowly develop, step by step toward liver cancer .

—Why are many liver cancers already in the late stage as soon as they are discovered?

Through Mr. Yao's experience, we can know that this is related to Many patients do not pay attention to liver disease , and do not actively treat it, giving it a chance to develop.

In addition to fatty liver, Hepatitis B and cirrhosis 6 is also worthy of everyone's attention, especially hepatitis B, which is more closely related to liver cancer.

When liver lesions are detected, both ordinary inflammation, virality, or other problems need to be taken seriously and actively intervened. Even if medical treatment is not required, it does not mean that you can ignore it. Develop good living habits of and regular reviews of cannot be ignored. In addition, this has a lot to do with the fact that many patients do not pay attention to the distress signals they send, and it is delayed.

·So, when liver cancer is coming, what signals will the body have?

sclera yellowing, spider nevus , liver palm , liver area pain, ascites, difficult-to-relieve body fatigue and skin itching, etc. Before comes, it generally gives these warnings.

is visible, not without signals, and there are quite a few. But many people don’t take it too seriously when they find that one or more of the body is discomfort. For example, in liver pain, many people mistakenly think that it is because of bad stomach because it is all abdominal discomfort.

In addition, it is also related to its characteristics - has no pain, has regeneration function, and has a powerful compensation function.

—Is there still necessary treatment for advanced liver cancer?

"It's already late, there's no need to treat it anymore. Even if it's cured, it will lose both people and money in the end." Many people may think so.

Although in the late stage, the treatment is indeed more difficult than early detection, and it may be difficult to eliminate the tumor through surgery, but this does not mean that there is no need for treatment.

First of all, everyone should correctly understand the concept of curing cancer. In a sense, it does not mean that it will not appear again after it is cured.

Regarding the cure of tumors, there is a word called " clinical cure ", and there is a saying about 1 five-year survival time .

Whether it is liver cancer or other tumors, is not a terminal illness , it does not mean that there is no need to treat it as long as it reaches the late stage. Whether

is necessary should be comprehensively analyzed based on the patient's condition and tumor development. It is difficult to generalize it, depending on the disease and the person.

Secondly, many tumors have multiple treatment methods when they reach the late stage. is not gone except surgery and chemotherapy, such as targeting, immunotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.

Recently, The US FDA has granted the TTI-101 fast track specification. It is an oral small molecule inhibitor that can be used to treat refractory locally advanced liver cancer , or non-resectable or metastatic.

Preclinical data shows that experimental studies on mice found that it can inhibit liver cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer , and head and neck cancer. Currently, it is well tolerated as a monotherapy. I hope it can be used in clinical practice in the near future, bringing confidence and hope to patients with liver cancer, and allowing many patients to have one more choice.

Through the above understanding, I believe everyone has more knowledge about liver cancer. Even in the late stage, there is no cure. Patients should not give up easily. For advanced patients, choosing a treatment method that suits them, reducing pain and controlling the condition is of great benefit to prolonging survival and improving the quality of life.

Finally, I hope everyone will learn to protect the liver and prevent liver cancer in life. If you already suffer from fatty liver alcohol liver and other liver diseases, you should pay attention to it and intervene early and do not let it continue to develop. If you often find the above abnormal symptoms in your body, don’t delay it. Check your liver early, especially those with high-risk groups such as frequent drinking, family history of liver cancer, and patients with hepatitis B. They need to pay attention to it.
