What's wrong with liver cancer? What should we do?

Liver cancer is caused by genetic factors, dietary factors, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and other reasons, and can generally be alleviated by improving diet, oral medications, surgical treatment and other methods.

1. Genetic factors:

Liver cancer may be caused by a family gene defect in the patient. If both parents or one parent has a gene defect, the probability of the child being inherited is relatively high. Under the doctor's advice, the patient can choose interventional treatment, such as hepatic artery chemoembolization, targeted therapy, combined chemotherapy, etc.

2. Dietary factors:

It may be that the patient often eats spoiled food or drinks contaminated water. These foods contain more nitrosamines. Long-term intake will cause these nitrosamines to accumulate in the body and cannot be excreted in time, thus converting into nitrosamines in the body, affecting the normal functioning of liver and kidney functions, causing patients to have symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting. Under the guidance of a doctor, drugs such as capecitabine tablets, Tegafur capsules, and lenvatinib mesylate capsules can be taken orally.

3. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease:

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is insulin resistance in the body. Some patients are usually overweight and often eat high-fat foods. These fats will accumulate in the body, leading to increased fat decomposition and fatty liver degeneration. The patient will experience right upper abdominal pain accompanied by constipation symptoms. This can be improved through surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as liver resection, liver transplantation, etc.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by cirrhosis and other reasons. Targeted treatment can be carried out after the cause is identified.
