Experts explain: Is liver cancer contagious?

Liver cancer is the third most common malignant tumor with a mortality rate second only to gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. The early symptoms are not obvious, and the main symptoms in the late stage are liver pain, fatigue, weight loss, ascites and other symptoms. In clinical practice, the general conventional treatment is surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatment methods. However, overtreatment has occurred in recent years, so the treatment of cancer in the 21st century should establish a reasonable individualized comprehensive treatment plan based on the patient's condition and his or her own vital signs to reduce overtreatment. For patients who are relatively older or have weaker physical fitness, a relatively mild treatment plan can be selected. At present, the biggest advantage of the DC-CIK biological treatment technology carried out by our center is that it has no side effects, high safety, no trauma, and significant effect. In addition, the cure rate of patients with advanced liver cancer is low due to the spread of cancer cells, so early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of liver cancer should be achieved. Do a good job in the prevention of liver cancer and adhere to the seven-character policy of liver cancer prevention of "managing water, managing food, and preventing hepatitis".

The onset of liver cancer is relatively hidden. Generally, there are no symptoms in the early stage. When patients show obvious clinical symptoms, the disease is often in the middle and late stages. The incidence of typical symptoms of liver cancer is basically the same in domestic and foreign reports. The most common first symptom is pain in the liver area, followed by upper abdominal mass. Common symptoms include pain in the liver area, poor appetite, weight loss, fatigue, unexplained fever, abdominal distension, diarrhea, jaundice, etc. Loss of appetite and upper abdominal fullness after meals. Flatulence, indigestion, nausea, etc. are common digestive symptoms of liver cancer, among which loss of appetite and abdominal distension are the most common. Diarrhea is also a common digestive symptom of liver cancer. It has been reported both at home and abroad. The incidence is high and it is easy to be mistaken for chronic enteritis. Portal hypertension and intestinal dysfunction caused by portal vein or hepatic vein cancer thrombus can cause abdominal distension and increased bowel movements. Abdominal distension can also be caused by ascites. Gastrointestinal dysfunction can also lead to symptoms such as indigestion, flatulence, and nausea.

Liver cancer patients often have poor appetite and no appetite. In daily care, family members should pay attention to improving the patient's appetite, encouraging eating, diversifying the diet, paying attention to food matching, giving more high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin, low-fat foods, and limiting the intake of animal oil. Eating should be mainly soft food that is easy to digest, avoid hard and spicy foods, eat less fried foods, and eat small meals frequently. Avoid irritating foods and foods high in plant fiber to avoid causing esophageal or gastric vein rupture and bleeding in patients with cirrhosis. Patients in the early stage of hepatic coma or hepatic coma should be given a low-protein diet, and try to use animal proteins with high physiological value, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, etc.

Due to the particularity of hepatitis inflammation itself, many friends often worry about the contagiousness of liver cancer. Experts explain as follows: Liver cancer itself is not contagious, but 90% of liver cancer is caused by hepatitis B. Many patients with advanced liver cancer have Hepatitis B, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. These three positives are contagious, but usually transmitted through body fluids or blood. If you don’t have any wounds on your body when you come into contact with liver cancer patients, you don’t have to worry. There will be nothing to worry about. If you are really worried, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a hepatitis B two-to-a-half test.

In addition, I would like to remind everyone again, especially the relatives of liver cancer patients, to respect liver cancer patients, accompany them through difficulties, help them build confidence in defeating liver cancer, not discriminate against them, and take good care of the patients' daily lives. Do not listen to rumors about the transmission of liver cancer from others, because daily contact with patients will not transmit liver cancer. So I would like to remind everyone that if family members and friends have cancer, don't worry about transmission, but spend more time with them and give them warmth and love. This will help the patients recover soon.

The above is some knowledge about liver cancer. Expert Tips: If you have symptoms of disease, you can choose the appropriate treatment according to your symptoms, but do not delay diagnosis, and do not let your life be ruined by hesitation.
