Is grandma's liver cancer hereditary?

A large amount of research data shows that the occurrence of liver cancer is related to heredity, common life, and partly to living environment and living habits. Families are what we usually call high-risk groups for cancer. In fact, each of us has more or less cancer-causing genes in our bodies. Whether or not we develop the disease depends on acquired triggering factors.

But to challenge liver cancer, in addition to medical efforts, people's correct prevention and treatment concepts are also very important. The reason why the relatives of this middle-aged man could not be saved was mainly because they were found too late. The improvement in the survival rate of liver cancer treatment is largely due to early diagnosis. Cancer prevention physical examination is suitable for everyone. Nowadays, people's annual routine physical examinations are of ordinary types, while cancer prevention physical examinations are a highly professional technology and a targeted special examination. The objects of cancer prevention physical examinations are still healthy people. The detection methods are safe and harmless to the body, and they are simple and easy to use, and the price is relatively low. Now some people don't go for examinations because they think "how terrible it will be once cancer is found", but they don't know that they have cancer but fail to find it early, which is really terrible! Small life sections can prevent cancer. The onset of any cancer is not overnight.

The main lifestyle factors associated with liver cancer are:

1. Drinking water: The incidence of liver cancer in people who drink polluted pond water, ditch water, and irrigation area water is much higher than those who drink well water or reservoir water. The better the water quality, the lower the incidence of liver cancer.

2. Post-hepatitis cirrhosis: The higher the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen in the population, the higher the incidence of liver cancer. Regarding the relationship between liver cancer and cirrhosis, a study reported that more than 80% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma have concurrent cirrhosis.

3. Physical or chemical factors: There are relatively many reports of chemical factors causing liver cancer. Aflatoxin is an important factor in inducing liver cancer. Food mold and aflatoxin pollution are serious.

4. Drinking: Long-term and heavy drinking can cause nutritional disorders in the liver and lead to cirrhosis.
