What are the treatment methods for male liver cancer? Is there a relationship between male liver cancer and hormones

High incidence of liver cancer in males, associated with male hormones
In recent years, the incidence rate of liver cancer in China has remained high, and the annual survival rate is less than 5%, which has become the second largest malignant tumor seriously endangering people's health. Among patients with liver cancer, males account for the vast majority.
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.
The factors that lead to the recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer are not very clear in the current scientific community. There are many mutated genes in liver cancer, but it is not certain which gene is the ultimate result. Therefore, only by increasing in-depth research in biology and obtaining answers from human cellular immunity can reasonable treatment methods be found. "Chongqing Xinqiao Hospital oncology experts said.
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.
DC is the most powerful specialized antigen presenting cell in the body and the only antigen presenting cell that can activate immature T cells, playing a unique role in inducing immune responses. Its most important role is to ingest tumor antigens, present them to T lymphocytes, induce, activate, and proliferate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), thereby mediating strong specific anti-tumor cell immunity and achieving sustained anticancer effects.
