Patient's question:
My daughter was diagnosed with liver tumors, and we are all very anxious. Such a young child has to suffer from tumors. Her mother is crying every day, not knowing what to do. Now she is staying in the hospital every day, receiving fluids and medication, but she cannot be cured. I would like to ask, what are the methods for treating pediatric liver tumors? Are they safe?Doctor's answer:
The primary treatment method remains surgery, followed by postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. For patients with large tumors or multiple metastases, surgery is generally not suitable, and alternative treatments such as gamma knife, chemotherapy, interventional therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, and conservative treatment are often employed. In recent years, advancements in early diagnosis, localization diagnosis, tumor biology, and updates in several concepts of liver cancer surgery, particularly when combined with comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine treatments, have significantly improved the effectiveness of liver cancer surgery. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicine adjuvant therapies primarily involve the application of modern anticancer Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rh2 (Hulimengsu). Research has reported that ginsenoside Rh2 can inhibit the proliferation of liver cancer cells SMMC-7721 and Bel-7404 and possesses differentiation-inducing effects. It can assist in treating advanced liver cancer patients. Note that the product with a content of 16.2% should be selected.
