Can I have children if I have liver cancer

Although liver cancer is not a contagious disease, it has a significant genetic tendency and family clustering. During pregnancy, the body is exhausted, and changes in endocrine and immune systems can easily lead to tumor development. Some clinically cured liver cancer patients have recurrence or metastasis after pregnancy. So can liver cancer patients have children? Let's take a look together.

Liver cancer patients should not breastfeed. Breastfeeding will increase the patient's physical exertion, further deteriorate the patient's physical condition, affect the body's immune function, and is extremely detrimental to the body's control of cancer foci and potential recurrence and metastasis. Especially for liver cancer patients who have just recovered from the initial treatment, breastfeeding should be avoided to prevent liver cancer recurrence and metastasis.
If the patient becomes pregnant during treatment, chemotherapy or radiotherapy may also lead to miscarriage and fetal malformation. At the same time, during treatment, patients often have poor mental and physical conditions, poor appetite, and some experience digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which lead to malnutrition and inevitably affect the growth and development of the fetus. For patients who are diagnosed with liver cancer during pregnancy, immediate termination of pregnancy should be considered to focus on treatment.
