Who needs to prevent liver cancer? Four types of people should prevent liver cancer the most

Who needs to prevent liver cancer?

1. As the age of liver cancer onset is getting younger, patients with liver disease over 30 years old should have regular checkups to prevent liver cancer. Most cases detected in liver cancer screening are early-stage liver cancer with a small size, which can generally be removed locally. Since the resected liver part is small, it is more tolerable even for patients with a certain degree of liver cirrhosis.

2. Patients with hepatitis B virus infection and hepatitis C virus infection should strengthen liver cancer prevention. In my country, 95% of liver cancer patients have a background of hepatitis B virus infection, and 10% have a background of hepatitis C infection. Among them, a small number of patients have overlapping infections of hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

3. For patients who undergo radical surgical resection of liver cancer, the 5-year survival rate can reach 66.7%, but the probability of recurrence is still very high, so these patients should undergo regular check-ups.

4. In my country, the male to female ratio of liver cancer patients is 4 to 1, which shows that liver cancer poses a greater threat to male patients. Therefore, people who meet the above high-risk factors should undergo regular physical examinations to achieve the goal of early diagnosis and early treatment.
