Question
What are the treatment methods for pediatric liver tumors? Are these methods safe?
Answer
The primary treatment method for pediatric liver tumors is surgery, followed by chemotherapy. For cases with large tumors or multiple metastases, surgery may not be suitable, and alternative treatments such as gamma knife, chemotherapy, interventional therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, or conservative treatment may be considered. In recent years, with advancements in early diagnosis, localization diagnosis, tumor biology, and liver cancer surgical treatment concepts, as well as combined treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, the efficacy of liver cancer surgical treatment has significantly improved. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicine assisttreatment methods include the modern anti-cancer Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rh2 (Houttuynia cordata extract), which has research indicating it can inhibit the proliferation of liver cancer cells SMMC-7721 and Bel-7404 and has a differentiation-inducing effect, helping in the treatment of advanced liver cancer patients.
