(1) Early treatment of liver cancer:
Early diagnosis as possible, once the liver cancer diagnosis clear, should take timely and effective treatment. Should strive to achieve in the cancer nodules less than 5 cm in diameter, portal vein thrombosis without treatment before the two indicators. Tumor less than 5 cm in diameter, through effective treatment of radical hope; if treatment does not appear in the portal vein tumor thrombus, treatment can prolong survival.
Liver Cancer Treatment (2) comprehensive treatment of liver cancer:

(2) cases of liver function of patients: China 80% _90%, liver cancer patients complicated with liver cirrhosis were present. In determining treatment options must be before the liver function of patients with an objective evaluation of liver functional reserve of patients to understand the situation. Decision factors such as the liver functional reserve of patients serum bilirubin, albumin and transaminase levels, with per ascites and prothrombin time. General application of international child grading evaluation of liver function. Usually at the level of liver function may be suitable for surgical treatment of patients; child B-class patients may choose surgery or TACE treatment; and childC-class patients generally poor tolerance to aggressive treatment, treatment should be conservative.
