Introduction
For multiple liver metastases, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy are recommended. Targeted drugs can block abnormal protein kinases caused by genetic mutations in the body, thereby exerting anti-cancer effects. Immunotherapy affects the body's immune system, enabling it to more effectively recognize and destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy can kill cancer cells or prevent them from further growth.
In general, for multiple liver metastases, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy are recommended. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Targeted Therapy
Targeted drugs can block abnormal protein kinases caused by genetic mutations in the body, thereby exerting anti-cancer effects. Commonly used drugs include sorafenib, regorafenib, and cabozantinib.
2. Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy primarily affects the body's immune system, enabling it to more effectively recognize and destroy cancer cells, thus achieving therapeutic effects.
3. Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy works by killing cancer cells or inhibiting their further growth. Commonly used drugs include gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, and cisplatin.
Patients are advised to undergo relevant examinations, follow medical advice based on test results, and choose an appropriate treatment approach.
