Reminder: If you don’t want to be “targeted” by liver cancer in the future, you need to do these 3 things in peacetime!

"Liver cancer" is one of the malignant tumors. It is mainly divided into two types clinically. The first is the metastasis of liver cancer after other organs become cancerous , that is, metastatic liver cancer.

　　The second is cancer that occurs in the liver itself, that is, primary liver cancer . Under normal circumstances, the clinical term for liver cancer refers to the latter primary liver cancer!

　　The data survey from 2020 shows that the number of cases of liver cancer in China ranks fifth in the list of malignant tumors, and 410,000 patients were diagnosed this year.

　　However, liver cancer ranks second in the number of deaths, after lung cancer patients . The number of patients who died of liver cancer this year reached 390,000 . That is to say, the vast majority of liver cancer patients are only about a year from the discovery of the disease to their death.

　　The reason for this is that more than 85-90% of liver cancer patients in China belong to primary hepatocellular carcinoma , which is highly malignant, infiltrating and metastatic .

　　Moreover, the initial symptoms of liver cancer are not typical. Most of the patients are developed from chronic liver disease, and they are more relaxed about the symptoms of physical discomfort, so that more than 95% of liver cancer patients have entered the disease when they first discovered cancer. in the middle and late stages , or even in the terminal stage.

　　Therefore, from a clinical point of view, the prevention of liver cancer is far more important than advanced treatment. If you don’t want liver cancer to find you in the future, it is necessary to do the following three things from now on:

　　1. Actively treat the primary disease

　　As mentioned above, the vast majority of liver cancer patients in China do not have a sudden onset, but have had a history of the disease for many years before this. Among them, the most important one is chronic hepatitis B.

　　Among all liver cancer patients in China, the detection rate of hepatitis B virus has reached more than 90% , and nearly 70% of liver cancer patients are diagnosed on the basis of liver cirrhosis .

　　Therefore, from a clinical point of view, if there is chronic hepatitis B or C, alcoholic liver disease, or liver cirrhosis, they should actively cooperate with doctors to carry out targeted treatment to avoid further development of the disease;

2. Scientific diet

　　The liver is actually a part of the human digestive glands, and it also plays a role in detoxification and metabolism. Many toxic substances in food must be metabolized and transformed in the liver. Therefore, the choice of diet is directly related to the health of the liver .

　　From a clinical point of view, moldy and spoiled food (containing aflatoxin), preserved and processed meat (containing nitrosamines), alcoholic beverages, long-term excess calories, etc., will cause damage to the liver and induce chronic liver damage. disease , which in turn increases the likelihood of cancer. Therefore, in daily life, everyone should stay away from alcohol damage, and keep the food intake light and nutritionally balanced;

3. Regular physical examination

　　The onset of liver cancer is closely related to a variety of factors, including chronic liver disease, unhealthy living and eating habits, family history, and genetic factors.

　　Therefore, in dealing with liver cancer, what we need to do is not only to improve our living and eating habits. At the same time, regular liver check-ups are also required, especially for those who meet the high-risk conditions for liver cancer, regular liver and liver function health screenings are necessary.

　　Finally, it should be emphasized that even if you suffer from liver cancer, there is no need for everyone to be overly pessimistic and desperate. Because in recent years, China's medical technology has continued to improve, and many new ways to fight cancer have come out, including targeted drugs, immunotherapy and so on.

　　Therefore, after the diagnosis of liver cancer, as long as you actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, even if there is no cure, the patient's life span and quality of life will be significantly improved.
