How to treat male liver cancer? Is there a correlation between male liver cancer and male hormones

In recent years, the incidence of liver cancer in China has been increasing year by year, and the cure rate is not optimistic. It has now become a high-risk tumor that seriously affects people's quality of life. And in patients with liver cancer, men make up the vast majority, what is the reason for this? Is there a correlation between liver cancer and male hormones? According to researchers from the Cancer Institute, there is indeed a correlation between liver cancer and male hormones. Let's take a closer look.

Male liver cancer is associated with male hormones

According to researchers from the Cancer Institute, the reason for the high incidence of male liver cancer is related to a gene called "Cell Cycle Related Hormone" (CCRK), which is inevitably associated with male hormone receptors. If a man suffers from hepatitis B, his male hormone receptors are activated. When combined with male hormones, they invade the nucleus of liver cells, activate and increase the content of "CCRK", which in turn triggers a series of chemical reactions called molecular information pathways, triggering abnormal rapid cell proliferation and transforming into tumor cells, leading to the occurrence of liver cancer.

The susceptibility of liver cancer cells to metastasis is an important factor affecting patient survival rate

The main treatment methods for liver cancer currently include surgery, interventional embolization chemotherapy, and liver transplantation. The main factors that affect the survival of liver cancer patients are the recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer. Cancer experts from Chongqing Xinqiao Hospital stated that the high metastatic nature of liver cancer often leads to recurrence and deterioration in multiple parts of the patient after invading hepatic blood vessels, leading to patient death. Therefore, in recent years, research on liver cancer has mainly focused on its occurrence, metastasis and recurrence mechanisms, detection methods, treatment, and other aspects.

"At present, the scientific community is not very clear about the factors that lead to the recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer. There are many mutant genes of liver cancer, but it is impossible to determine which gene is the final result. For this reason, only by increasing in-depth research on biology and obtaining answers from human cellular immunity, can we find a reasonable treatment." said an oncologist from Chongqing Xinqiao Hospital.

Biotherapy is an important method for seeking to suppress liver cancer metastasis

Biotherapy is another new approach sought by the medical community in recent years to suppress tumor recurrence and metastasis. Tumor biotherapy mainly focuses on DC and CIK treatment. These two treatment methods are obtained by isolating immune cells from human peripheral blood, which have no side effects and are more safe. It has inhibitory and killing effects on tumors.
