Doctors generally decide on the treatment plan for liver cancer based on the following factors：
- Types of liver cancer cells
- The size, number, location, and degree of spread of the tumor
- Patient's age
- Health status
- The extent to which the patient can withstand side effects
Because some liver cancers originate from hepatitis and cirrhosis, patients' liver function is often weakened, making their bodies unable to withstand common cancer treatments. Therefore, doctors often use special therapies to treat liver cancer. In addition to surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, immunotherapy, which has developed rapidly in recent years, is also an option for many patients.
Our immune system can identify and eliminate abnormal cancer cells; however, cancer cells hinder the immune system's ability to recognize cells, causing them to proliferate uncontrollably. The principle of immunotherapy is to stimulate the body's own immunity and restore its ability to eliminate cancer cells.
