Why do we need to continue treatment after liver cancer is cured? Do two things to prevent liver cancer from recurring

After liver cancer patients are cured, they must continue to go to the hospital for treatment and cannot stop suddenly, otherwise the cancer cells will come back. After the operation, they must receive radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted drug therapy under the guidance of a doctor.

Why is it necessary to continue treatment after liver cancer is cured?

1. No fundamental change in cancer constitution

The fundamental reason for developing liver cancer is that the body has a cancerous constitution. Although the cancer cells are killed through reliable medical means, the source is not changed. A large number of cancer cells will continue to be generated, and the cancer cells will continue to recur and metastasize.

2. Weak immunity

The cells of healthy people are always in the process of metabolism, and a large number of new cells are produced every day. When the cells have gene mutations, they cannot be restrained by the immune system, and thus become malignant and lead to cancer cells. Chemotherapy not only harms cancer cells, but also damages normal cells and reduces the immune system. If you want to prevent the recurrence of liver cancer, you should find ways to improve the immune system, do a good job of immune monitoring, and help the patient's body repair.

3. No complete treatment

Liver cancer patients cannot completely eliminate cancer cells in their bodies through surgical resection, and must use chemotherapy and radiotherapy to kill some cancer cells. However, relatively small cancer cells are basically not killed, and when patients stop treatment, cancer cells will recur again.

How to prevent recurrence?

1. Avoid staying up late and sitting for long periods of time

Staying up late for a long time will disrupt the biological clock, destroy the production of melatonin in the body, and reduce the immune system. Once melatonin is lacking, it will induce prostate cancer, oral cancer, etc. You can't sit for a long time. Sitting for a long time will reduce immune cells and increase the risk of cancer. After sitting for an hour, you must stand up and move around for about 15 minutes.

2. Do not drink boiling water

Many liver cancer patients like to drink boiling water, which can damage the esophageal mucosa and oral mucosa, and induce oral cancer and esophageal cancer, etc. In addition, you should control your salt intake, avoid consuming too much saturated fat and spicy food, and avoid overeating, smoking and drinking.

Kind tips

For people over 40 years old, they should go to the hospital for a physical examination every year. Once any abnormality is found, further diagnosis should be made and they should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. They should take appropriate time every day to bask in the sun to help the body synthesize vitamin D and improve the immune system. They should not have too much psychological burden. They should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, stay away from spicy and irritating foods, eliminate bad emotions in time, eat regularly, and ensure adequate sleep.
