What are the causes of liver cancer

We all know that liver cancer can cause great harm to human health and is very difficult to treat. Liver disease doctors point out that there are many causes of liver cancer. Common causes include drinking contaminated water and food, etc. Viral hepatitis can also lead to liver cancer if it is not treated in time. Let's take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Hepatologists point out that a common cause of liver cancer is viral infection. Clinically, there are many causes mainly due to hepatitis B, while in many countries, liver cancer is mainly caused by hepatitis C.

Another cause of liver cancer is the influence of chemical substances, which lead to the occurrence of liver cancer. The main substance is aflatoxin, and the B1 in this toxin is very toxic and can usually induce liver cancer. In addition, other substances such as vinyl chloride, thorium dioxide, diethylnitrosamine, etc., also have certain carcinogenicity.

One of the factors that may induce liver cancer is alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning may lead to alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic cirrhosis, etc. When patients develop alcoholic cirrhosis, if it is not treated in time, it will increase the possibility of liver cell cancer.

The current situation of pollution exists in every corner of people's lives, such as drinking water pollution. If the water quality of people's drinking water is polluted, it will increase the incidence of liver cancer in the human body, especially polluted ditch water, river water and well water.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the causes of liver cancer. Patients are reminded that if they understand the causes of liver cancer, they need to take active measures to prevent it in life. If they find that they have liver cancer, they must go to the hospital for corresponding examinations and treatment in time. This will enable patients to have a detailed understanding of the condition as soon as possible, so that targeted treatment can be made for the condition, which will prompt the patient's condition to improve as soon as possible.
