Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your current tumor is relatively large, and generally, active treatment is required when the size is around 5 centimeters. Medication treatment is not very effective. The best treatment method currently is interventional therapy, which is a minimally invasive treatment. It has the characteristics of "safe, efficient, less pain, fewer side effects, rapid recovery, and significantly shortens hospital stay," and it is recommended to consider it. Minimally invasive interventional therapy involves making a rice-grain-sized incision in the patient's femoral artery in the thigh. It is performed under local anesthesia, using microcatheters to inject emboli, which can block the nutritional supply pathways of the tumor. This allows the tumor to become ischemic and hypoxic, leading to spontaneous apoptosis and detachment, and naturally excreting it out of the body. Through interventional therapy, the tumor is essentially "starved to death." This method causes almost no trauma, so recovery is fast and pain is minimal.
