Dr. Chen Lilei
In advanced liver cancer, the best dietary approach is to promptly replenish the body with vitamins and protein—for example, lamb, beef, duck meat, milk, and eggs. Patients may also moderately consume fruits such as bananas, apples, strawberries, oranges, and pears. Regarding meal patterns, it is advisable to eat small portions more frequently throughout the day, which facilitates gastric digestion and reduces intestinal strain.
