Abstract

Cancer is a challenging disease to treat and has resulted in numerous fatalities. Among these cancers, liver cancer accounts for an important proportion of deaths from cancer and has become one of the main causes of human death. To this end, the treatment of liver cancer is of utmost importance, and scholars worldwide are exploring ways to cure it. Currently, several liver cancer treatment methods have significantly advanced. Different regions have varying treatment methods for liver cancer patients, including targeted drug therapy like sorafenib and the use of viruses to destroy cancer tissue. It is crucial to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of different treatment plans as they are suitable for different patients. This research will analyze existing therapies used in the treatment of liver cancer, highlighting their present situation with deficiencies. The relevant achievements of scholars from different countries are discussed to function as a reference for the subsequent development of liver cancer treatment.
