High-risk groups that are easily targeted by liver cancer

Maybe everyone has heard that drinking alcohol can damage the liver. Liver cancer has become a malignant tumor that threatens people's lives. There are many causes of liver cancer, including alcohol. So based on the current incidence, which high-risk groups for liver cancer should pay more attention?

1. Middle-aged and elderly people. The high-risk group for liver cancer is likely to be middle-aged and elderly people, so this group of people must pay attention to their physical health. Most liver cancers occur after the age of 40, because the effects of carcinogenic factors require an accumulation process, which can even last for decades. Therefore, most liver cancer patients are middle-aged and elderly people, and the age group with a high incidence is between 50 and 60 years old. In addition, the occurrence of liver cancer is also related to the decline of the body's immune function. After middle age, the thymus gradually atrophies, and the cellular immune function closely related to the thymus endocrine system also gradually weakens. The human body cannot effectively reject abnormal cells, and cancer takes the opportunity to germinate.

2. Males. Among liver cancer patients, the incidence rate of males is higher than that of females, and males should pay attention to this situation. Generally speaking, the ratio of male to female liver cancer patients is 7-10:1, that is, the number of male liver cancer patients is 7-10 times that of females. There is no definite explanation for why the high-risk group for liver cancer is males. However, many medical experts believe that the estrogen in women has a certain antagonistic effect on certain liver cancer pathogenic factors.

I hope that the above brief introduction to the high-risk groups for liver cancer will be helpful to everyone. I hope that everyone will pay attention to it, develop good living habits, and drink in moderation. The above are the high-risk groups, but it is not absolute. It is still important to do effective prevention.
