Primary liver cancer, commonly known as liver cancer, refers to malignant tumors that originate in liver cells or intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells. It can be divided into hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and mixed liver cancer, among which hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type. The most direct cause of liver cancer is hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infection. Liver cancer has a high degree of malignancy, rapid progression, and a short natural survival period.

4. Emotional depression and anger. The liver governs catharsis and stores blood. If the emotions are stagnant and angry, the emotions will not be able to vent and lead to stagnation of liver qi, and stagnation of qi will lead to blood stasis and blood stasis in the abdomen, which may accumulate over time.

4. Zhang Zhonghai's clinical experience
Due to the large size of the liver, most patients with liver cancer cannot feel a two- to three-centimeter lump, so there are generally no obvious symptoms in the early stage of liver cancer. If the mass on the liver is not controlled in time, swelling, nausea, vomiting, fatigue will appear in the advanced stage, and most of them will be accompanied by pain. As the saying goes, the tiger is the king of beasts, and liver cancer is the king of cancers. The survival period of liver cancer is generally 3 to 6 months. If not treated in time, the survival time is very short. Traditional Chinese medicine is suitable for the treatment of massive liver cancer.
