"Liver cancer", as the name suggests, it refers to the malignant tumors that appear on the liver, and clinically liver cancer is mainly divided into two categories: primary and metastatic.
Usually, liver cancer refers to the malignancy of cells that originate in the liver site, which is affected by a wide range of liver functions, special structure, strong compensatory ability and other aspects, and patients in the early stage of liver cancer basically have no symptoms.
Because of this, most of the nearly 400,000 newly diagnosed liver cancer patients in the mainland every year are diagnosed after entering the middle and late stages, or even the terminal stage. At this time, cancer cells are not only limited to the liver, they have multiple sites of metastasis with blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, so the prognosis of patients is usually not ideal.
The vast majority of liver cancer patients have passed away in the year after diagnosis, or even just a few months, and an average of nearly 390,000 liver cancer patients die every year. It is also affected by the various characteristics of liver cancer, and the clinic also calls liver cancer the "king of cancer".
However, in recent years, with the continuous advancement of medical technology in mainland China, there have been a number of different clinical treatment methods for liver cancer, such as traditional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, liver transplantation, interventional therapy, targeted drugs, etc., which have achieved good treatment results.
However, in order to improve the prognosis, quality of life and survival of patients, treatment also needs to be accompanied by daily observation and care, and the abnormal symptoms of any liver cancer patients cannot be ignored!
Clinically, there are many liver cancer patients who have a lot of sweating symptoms during the onset of the disease and treatment, what is going on?
1, the body is too weak
Cancer is originally a consumptive disease, it will consume a large amount of nutrients stored in the patient's body to supply cancer cells to divide and proliferate.
Not only that, liver cancer will also destroy liver function, affect the operation of the digestive system, after the development of the middle and advanced stages, patients often have digestive malabsorption syndrome, in the case of extreme weakness, liver cancer patients are prone to night sweats, sweating and other symptoms.
This is very dangerous, patients need to pay attention to strengthen nutritional support treatment, pay attention to the replenishment of water, so as not to cause dehydration to appear;
2. Fever leads to sweating
Cancer patients are prone to fever, which can be divided into two parts, the first is liver cancer combined with inflammation caused by inflammatory fever, and the second is cancer fever. Due to the rapid proliferation of malignant tumors, tissue ischemic oxygen necrosis, or a large number of cancer cells in the treatment process, releasing tumor necrosis factor, resulting in fever.
In addition, cancer cells themselves will also produce endogenous heat sources, such as white blood cell infiltration, tumor cells release antigen substances, etc., and the patient's body temperature can rise to about 38 ° C. After the body perceives this change, it will send instructions to the skin, and the skin will dissipate heat by sweating, so that the patient's body temperature is maintained as normal as possible.
All in all, liver cancer patients sweat a lot, mainly related to the above two aspects. If the patient has cancerous fever accompanied by hyperhidrosis, the patient needs to seek medical treatment at the first time, treat the cancerous fever, and replenish water in time.
If the patient is sweating due to excessive weakness, it is necessary to supplement nutrition appropriately according to the doctor's recommendations, and if necessary, intravenous injection can be used to maintain normal physical needs.
