Are diabetic patients more likely to develop liver cancer?

Domestic and foreign studies have confirmed that liver cancer is also closely related to bad living habits. First, long-term alcohol abuse is an important factor in liver damage. After alcohol enters the body, it is mainly metabolized in the liver. The toxicity of alcohol to liver cells can cause cirrhosis and develop into liver cancer.

As a lifestyle disease, diabetes is becoming another potential group for liver cancer. The risk of liver cancer in diabetic patients is 2-3 times higher than that of ordinary people. This is due to lipid metabolism disorders caused by insulin resistance in diabetic patients themselves. Glucose and lipase in their bodies cannot be well utilized, and eventually fatty acids accumulate in the liver, forming non-alcoholic fatty liver. Due to the high insulin content in the body, the mitochondrial oxidation process of fatty acids is inhibited. After the liver is repeatedly stimulated by chronic inflammation, it is easy to become cancerous and eventually lead to the occurrence of liver cancer. If diabetic patients have hepatitis, this probability will be greatly increased. In addition, eating fried dough sticks fried in gutter oil can also increase the incidence of liver cancer by 33%.
