What are the main causes of liver cancer? This kind of people are most likely to suffer from liver cancer

Liver cancer is highly malignant and is one of the most feared cancers. It is known as the king of cancers because it seriously threatens the lives of patients. The main characteristics of liver cancer are that it comes on violently and has a short course. So, what causes liver cancer to continue to threaten people's health?

Summary of 7 causes of liver cancer

(1) Viral hepatitis: mainly hepatitis B and C virus infection, especially hepatitis B and hepatitis B virus carriers.

(2) Aflatoxin (AFT): Aflatoxin is the most important carcinogen. Long-term consumption of foods containing this toxin can induce liver cancer.

(3) Water pollution: Severe pollution of drinking water is one of the important causes of liver cancer.

(4) Chemical carcinogens: Chemical substances that can cause liver cancer are mainly nitroso compounds, such as nitrosamines and nitrosamides. In addition, pesticides, alcohol, safrole, etc. can also induce liver cancer.

(5) Other factors: Overnutrition (excessive nutrition) or nutritional deficiency (such as vitamin A and vitamin B deficiency), hemochromatosis, parasitic infection and heredity are also risk factors for liver cancer.

(6) Immune status: Some people believe that the plasma of liver cancer patients contains a blocking factor that can inhibit cellular immunity and protect liver cancer cells from being killed by immune cells. It has been proven that alpha-fetoprotein (AFp) can inhibit the phagocytosis of lymphocytes and macrophages.

(7) Gene mutation: In recent years, some people believe that mutagens and viruses in the environment stimulate the activation of liver cell division response pathways, causing point mutations and gene translocations in cells, which are possible factors of cell proliferation.

Can being angry often cause liver cancer?

More and more research data show that the occurrence and development of cancer is closely related to social and psychological factors. Paying attention to psychological adjustment can not only effectively prevent cancer, but also facilitate cancer treatment. Among psychological factors, the most serious is the impact of negative life events. The above-mentioned example of Mr. Wu is such a case. Such examples of misfortunes never come alone are not uncommon around us.

Modern oncology research has shown that most cancer patients have a consistent personality type, which some scholars call "cancer personality". The specific manifestations of cancer personality are: introverted personality, seemingly submissive, but resentful in the heart; history of mental trauma; depressed mood, sulking, and not good at venting. A small thing in life will cause anxiety and anxiety, and the psychological state is constantly tense: on the surface, they sacrifice themselves for others, but are unwilling to do so in their hearts; when encountering difficulties, they do not try their best to overcome them, but have to deal with them passively in the end; they are afraid of competition, escape from reality, and try to achieve balance by appeasing others.
