Dietary considerations for patients with liver cancer

What are the dietary considerations for liver cancer patients?

Diet: People with liver cancer should never eat hard food, because most patients with hepatitis B, cirrhosis, and liver cancer have esophageal varices. Once esophageal varices bleed, they are very dangerous and there is almost no good way to prevent them.

Liver cancer patients often have abnormal liver function. At this time, the patient's diet should be light and he should not eat too greasy food to avoid symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

The dietary precautions for liver cancer patients are mainly the following: Do not drink alcoholic beverages, such as red wine, white wine, beer, etc.

Can B-ultrasound detect early liver cancer?

1. Generally speaking, B-ultrasound can detect early liver cancer. It can detect liver masses and some adverse blood flow signals in the liver. Liver cancer can also be detected through CT or MRI. However, for some early and very small liver cancers, B-ultrasound is sometimes not sensitive and not easy to detect. Therefore, it is often necessary to detect it through enhanced CT or MRI at this time. Especially for those with a history of hepatitis B and cirrhosis, CT enhancement or MRI enhancement should be performed first to exclude them, so as to achieve early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment, improve the patient's prognosis, and increase the patient's survival rate.

2. CT examination has a high resolution, and the diagnostic accuracy rate of liver cancer can reach more than 90%, and it can detect tiny cancer foci with a diameter of about 1 cm. Ordinary B-ultrasound can detect early liver cancer.
