How to prevent liver cancer? Five things to do to prevent liver cancer

With the advent of industrialization, environmental pollution has become more and more serious, and cancer has become a high-incidence disease. There are already tens of millions of cancer patients in my country, and the number of people who can be cured only accounts for one-third of the number of cancer patients. Among them, several types of cancer are relatively common, and liver cancer is one of them. Liver cancer is one of the malignant tumors that seriously threaten the health of the Chinese people. In recent years, the incidence of liver cancer in my country has been increasing year by year. It currently accounts for more than half of the total incidence of liver cancer in the world, and is a veritable "liver cancer power". Since the early symptoms of liver cancer are not very obvious, most patients are already in the middle and late stages when they are discovered, which makes the mortality rate of liver cancer high, ranking second in my country. Hepatocellular carcinoma accounts for more than 80% of liver cancer patients. Hepatocellular carcinoma usually occurs in patients with chronic liver damage. Chronic liver damage can cause inflammation, hepatocyte regeneration, liver matrix remodeling, liver fibrosis, and eventually cause cirrhosis, and cirrhosis is the most important risk factor for the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. At present, there is no method that can absolutely cure hepatocellular carcinoma in the world. The current best-effective sorafenib has an efficacy of only 44%. Therefore, patients who are ineffective or progress after sorafenib treatment need to actively seek new treatment methods. How to prevent liver cancer? Start with the following five points: 1. Prevent hepatitis. Using hepatitis vaccines to prevent hepatitis and thus prevent liver cancer has become one of the most promising ways to prevent liver cancer. Not only children need to be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine when they are born, but adults who have not been vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine and have not had hepatitis can also be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine. This can block some hepatitis from developing into liver cancer. 2. Stay away from carcinogens and do not eat moldy or mushy food. Aflatoxin contained in such food is a carcinogen. 3. Quit drinking. Alcohol in the human body needs to be detoxified by the liver, the largest chemical factory in the human body. The acetaldehyde produced in this metabolic process is extremely toxic to the human body, which can cause cell damage, fat deposition in liver cells, inflammation and necrosis of liver cells, and hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue, and eventually lead to cirrhosis of the liver, and some cirrhosis of the liver will turn into liver cancer. 4. Regular physical examinations and timely cure of various liver diseases. Chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis are both causes of liver cancer. Therefore, patients with the disease should actively seek medical treatment, strive for the best treatment, and have regular checkups. The following are some measures for hepatitis patients to prevent liver cancer: (1) Actively fight viruses in the early stage and regulate the body's immune function. The use of antiviral drugs such as α-interferon and lamivudine can effectively reduce the fluctuation of hepatitis and slow down the progression of cirrhosis, thereby reducing the occurrence of liver cancer. (2) Block the continuous necrosis of liver cells (necrosis will lead to hyperplasia, and excessive hyperplasia will lead to cancer); (3) Regularly check the serological indicators of liver cancer, such as alpha-fetoprotein and B-ultrasound, and treat early if there is a problem; (4) Keep a good mood, don't be too nervous, and have a correct understanding of hepatitis. V. Active exercise The occurrence of liver cancer is also related to the body's immunity. Under normal circumstances, cells in the human body may form cancer cells, but the human immune system has the ability to eliminate these cells, and the human body does not develop cancer. When the human immune system weakens, it is easy to develop cancer. Active exercise and enhancing the body's immunity are also important aspects of preventing liver cancer. Hepatitis B patients should have good living habits, regular daily life, proper physical and mental exercise, and maintain an optimistic mood, which can enhance physical fitness, improve the body's immunity, and prevent the occurrence of cirrhosis and liver cancer. 5 winter liver-nourishing porridges 1.
