Can liver cancer cells starve to death

Liver cancer is a common cancer. Many patients have some wrong ideas about diet after they get the disease. One of the more representative ones is that they think that they can starve liver cancer cells to death by not eating. In fact, this idea is very incorrect. Patients with liver cancer should pay attention to their diet and should not let themselves lack nutrition.

Tumor cells of liver cancer will not starve to death, so patients should eat normally. For cancer patients, even if they are not given nutritional support, the tumor will still consume the body's skeletal muscle in the form of vigorous glycolysis and damage the body's immune function. In other words, even if cancer patients do not eat or drink all day, tumor cells can still grow wildly. Although nutrition for cancer patients is an indispensable means of cancer treatment, some patients eat a lot of food when they see or hear that certain foods can fight tumors, which can also cause nutritional imbalance and make the body weaker.

Liver cancer patients must eat normally and ensure nutritional supply. In fact, tumor patients should ensure adequate nutrition after surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Only a reasonable diet and adequate nutrition can help restore physical strength. Moreover, through a specific proportion of nutrient supply, it can slow down the growth of tumors and improve the effect of tumor treatment. For example, giving patients with malignant tumors mainly fat energy and carbohydrates as a supplement can change the nutritional status of patients, but will not stimulate tumor growth. Of course, some misunderstandings and details of nutritional supplements still need to be paid attention to.

Therefore, liver cancer patients should first have a clear understanding of liver cancer diet. They should be given adequate diet in normal times and should not have some abnormal views, which will affect the treatment. It is best to go through some careful design, which is good for the patient's body and does not stimulate the growth of tumors.
