Liver cancer and treatment methods

Have you ever heard of a case of liver cancer?



Liver cancer

What do you see... In the left-hand side, the arrow points to a white block in the Metlev liver that appears in that CT scan, but why white? You may have heard before that there are rays in the dye, and in that picture may indicate that this mass attracts the dye to it and absorbs it more intensively than the rest of the liver tissue because it is a malignant mass and the arteries have nutrients more dense than the natural tissue to grow furiously... That's why I called cancer by that name! You might see in the middle a picture showing the arterial imaging of a catheter inside the liver. The interventional radiologist will enter it directed through the xray machine to the feeder arteries of the tumor, injecting that dye to show that it has a complex network of blood vessels that feed the tumor until it is injected with a mixture of A cancer-killer chemical with a substance that closes the arteries with another fatty substance that carries the medicine to the blood tumor vessels and proves on its walls until the drug lasts long. This results in a you see in the right image of a bright white color in the CT scan that clearly shows the success of the process in the contraction of this malignant tumor and the tumor bleaching shows the intense concentration of those injected with arterial catheters.
This is in detail the so-called arterial catheter in the treatment of liver tumors, which is the most popular solution in the elimination of liver tumors, but unfortunately sometimes the tumor is to spread again and this is of course due to the fact that the cells that have been eliminated secrete those substances that increase the effectiveness of the formation of blood vessels Compensating for those that have been closed. This of course needs to be monitored periodically by the radiologist and the liver Doctor who specialize in the patient and sometimes we resort to describe that drug the most expensive of the tumor drugs and is the Sorphenin (Sorafenib) to prevent that substance from causing its effect.


On the left you will see a picture of a white liver tumor and on the right a picture of the same patient but the tumor has shifted to a larger size.
First
The image bleaching on the left is due to the fact that this is an MRI and not a CT scan, both of which are considered as acceptable screening methods in detecting and following up on liver tumors.
But being white is also due to the same reason explained earlier but with different type of dye to correspond to the physics of MRI (of course this simple speech and its explanation needs other articles complementary).
On the right, we see a CT scan of the liver that has a larger black patch, here it is because this is the place left after the heat-frequency tumor is burned by inserting a needle into the heart of the tumor and being routed through the tumor through the use of a television or CT scan. By burning the tumor with an increase of at least 1 centimeter around it because all the tumors contain cancerous cells scattered outside the original mass that represent the foci of proliferation.
The effect of burning the tumor topically as a black spot (representing dead cells) is larger than the original tumor, here's what we're saying is that this is the other means of interventional radiology to eliminate liver tumors in accessible and easy ways. Here we find that science has introduced interventional methods that do not require long stay in the hospital because all the operations are classified as the one day operations carried out by the liver oncology clinics around the world and in Egypt, which is a pioneer in this field globally. And, of course, there are other ways to treat liver tumors such as liver transplantation and surgical resection of the liver, interventional radiology is a science that examines distinctive and non-conventional diagnostic and therapeutic methods to diagnose and treat certain diseases by inserting a tube, needle or catheter into different areas of the body and its cavity. It is directed to the location of the infection by various diagnostic radiology methods such as X-ray, CT or TV.



As for the normal liver patient, statistics have shown that about 10 to 20% of patients with cirrhosis or viral hepatitis B are at risk of developing liver tumors at some time in their life, so that the doctor should advise any patient to monitor the periodic television scans on Liver every three months.
So why three months? Because this is the period when we can detect liver tumors in the beginning when the size is less than 5 cm and this is the size between the healing rate which can reach 100% if it is less than this size or less than 50% if it is larger than this size, which can be reached by the tumor Cancer by the liver if its examination is neglected for more than three months.
