Detailed discussion of the main causes of liver cancer

There are many factors involved in the etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma. It is generally believed that the main risk factor is infection with the hepatitis B and C viruses, which account for more than 80% of hepatocellular carcinoma cases.

Cause 1: Hepatitis B virus infection

There is sufficient evidence that hepatitis B virus is a pathogenic factor that causes hepatocellular carcinoma. This has been confirmed through a large number of epidemiological surveys and laboratory studies. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone do a good job in the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B to cut off the possibility of hepatitis B developing into liver cancer.

Cause 2: Hepatitis C virus infection

The detection of replication intermediates in liver cancer tissues confirmed that there were traces of HCV replication in liver cancer tumor tissues, and the presence of HCV RNA was also detected in liver cancer tissues. Therefore, it is generally believed that chronic HCV infection is a high-risk factor for liver cancer in liver cancer patients and has a direct carcinogenic effect. We hope that everyone will pay more attention to hygiene in daily life to prevent HCV infection.

In short, the above-mentioned hepatitis B virus infection and hepatitis C virus infection are the most in-depth and recognized factors causing liver cancer. I hope everyone can do a good job in the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B and hepatitis C in daily life, and detect, diagnose and treat them early to prevent the possibility of them developing into liver cancer.
