1, what's the effect?
Interventional therapy of liver cancer is a mechanism. Compared with chemotherapy, the local drug concentration of this method can be as high as dozens of times. Therefore, the chemotherapy effect of chemotherapy for liver cancer is several times higher than that of interventional therapy for liver cancer.
Second, the operation is simple, safe and reliable. After successful treatment, AFP decreased rapidly, the mass decreased obviously and the pain was relieved obviously.
Fourthly, the diagnostic radiography is clear and reusable, which is beneficial to comparison.
Fifthly, interventional therapy for liver cancer has a price advantage and the cost is relatively low. It can be seen that interventional therapy for liver cancer is not only effective, but also suitable for elderly and frail patients. Because you don't need general anesthesia, you can stay normal. Anesthesia also has many side effects for the elderly and infirm patients.
2. Side effects
1, loss of appetite, patients with advanced liver cancer generally lose appetite and don't want to eat after interventional therapy. In the meantime, as family members, we should encourage patients with advanced liver cancer to eat and try to improve their daily eating habits. Pay more attention to making foods that can arouse patients' interest, and it is best to choose ingredients with high protein, high calorie, high vitamins and low fat.
2, fever, patients with advanced liver cancer will have fever symptoms after interventional therapy. This is because the patient's skin will absorb heat after tumor necrosis. Whether to carry out hypothermia treatment depends on the actual situation of the patient. If the patient's temperature exceeds 38.5℃, the patient already feels unbearable and needs to cool down.
3. Patients with nausea and vomiting will have nausea and vomiting after receiving interventional therapy. This is because high concentrations of drugs cause gastrointestinal irritation during treatment. In order to reduce this reaction, patients with liver cancer need to fast for two hours before and after surgery.
3, postoperative care
1, psychological nursing is more important in the nursing work of interventional therapy of liver cancer. Some patients will feel depressed and depressed after knowing that they have liver cancer, but this negative psychology will lead to the extreme deterioration of their condition, so we must do a good job in psychological construction. Let the patient keep a happy mood, can't entertain foolish ideas, and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. It is best to let the patient have a strong desire to survive before doing this operation.
2. It is necessary to do a good job of nursing the puncture site after operation, which is also the most critical link in the nursing work of interventional therapy for liver cancer. After the operation, we need to wrap the wound with elastic tape and fix the puncture point with sandbags for 24 hours. This is mainly to prevent wound bleeding and hematoma. It is necessary to observe the changes of the wound in these 24 hours. If the patient's face is bloodless and his body temperature drops, it needs urgent treatment.
After this operation, the patient will have obvious pain in the abdominal liver area. At this time, abdominal pain nursing is particularly important in the nursing work of interventional therapy for liver cancer. In fact, this kind of pain will relieve itself after 5 days, but if the pain is serious, it needs to be relieved by related drugs.
4. Because the patient's immunity is relatively low, it is necessary to strengthen his hematopoietic function through drug treatment to prevent other diseases and infections and further worsen his condition.
4, postoperative diet
1, digestible food.
For patients with advanced liver cancer, after interventional treatment of liver cancer, we must pay attention to eating some digested foods, and staple foods must be available, such as corn and sweet potatoes. Vegetables can be tomatoes, rape, etc. Both bean products and dairy products are acceptable.
2. Eat more fresh fruits.
People with advanced liver cancer are suitable to eat some fruits that strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as oranges, lemons, pitaya, jujubes, oranges, Siraitia grosvenorii and so on. And you can choose according to your own situation, but you must pay attention to eating some ripe fruits and eating them in moderation to avoid aggravating your illness.
4. Eat less vegetables rich in crude fiber.
After interventional therapy for liver cancer, the diet and vegetables of patients with advanced liver cancer are also restricted. You should eat less vegetables rich in crude fiber as soon as possible, such as celery, kelp, pears, bamboo shoots and so on. If you want to eat, you can cook it soft and hard and chew it slowly.
