How to prevent liver cancer recurrence? Main dietary precautions for liver cancer prevention

According to China Review News, Shih Ming-teh, former chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, made a public appearance on the 5th and held a press conference to establish the "Taiwan Memorial Shrine". He joked at first, "The old lover is back again," and "Everyone gets sick, so how do you face it? Treat it like an old lover. If he's not here, you'll miss him. If he's here, you'll be fine after a while, and it'll be over." Later, the mystery was revealed, saying that the liver cancer had recurred.

Shih Ming-teh said that he was diagnosed with 2-centimeter liver cancer during a routine checkup in July 2012 and was immediately hospitalized for treatment. He was hospitalized again for examination in September and went to the hospital for another checkup on the 4th. He will also go to the hospital for confirmation surgery next week.

At present, it is believed that the main factors for the recurrence of liver cancer are as follows:

1. There are smaller cancer foci in the liver that were not discovered when the main tumor was removed, and the residual cancer cells continue to grow after the operation.

2. Due to the high malignancy of liver cancer cells, the rapid growth of cancerous tissues, and the abundant blood supply to the liver, cancer cells can easily invade the liver blood vessels and metastasize to other parts of the liver through the blood flow. During surgical resection, rough operation and excessive squeezing can also cause cancer cells to enter the blood vessels and metastasize.

3. When cirrhosis occurs, other parts of the liver that have become cancerous may also become cancerous at the same time or at different times.

4. New tumors on the liver.

Avoid eating moldy food to prevent liver cancer recurrence

1. To prevent hepatitis B virus, we should start with food hygiene and living habits. Wash hands frequently and separate meals. It is worth noting that people with hepatitis cannot be chefs.

2. Do not eat moldy or mushy food, as these foods contain aflatoxin, which is carcinogenic. Eating moldy food can also easily cause liver cancer.

3. Observe the nature and duration of the patient's pain and the range that the patient can tolerate.

4. Observe the patient's accompanying symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, etc.

5. Preventing the recurrence of liver cancer also includes psychological care. Patients with advanced liver cancer are psychologically and physiologically fragile, especially when they are just diagnosed. It is difficult for patients and their families to accept the diagnosis. When admitted to the hospital, nurses should take the initiative to care for and comfort patients, eliminate their sense of unfamiliarity and tension, reduce their fear of hospitalization, help them make friends with other patients, and guide their families to provide strong support in spirit and life.

Experts recommend a diet to prevent liver cancer recurrence:

Eat foods that are easily digestible

Most patients with early liver cancer have digestive symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, and pain in the liver area. Therefore, special attention should be paid to providing easily digestible food in the diet. The food must contain a certain amount of staple food, such as wheat flour, corn, sweet potato, millet, etc.; vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, rapeseed, lettuce, cauliflower, kiwi, oranges, strawberries, etc.; meat, soy products, as well as milk and dairy products. Many liver cancer patients have bile secretion and excretion disorders, which makes it difficult to digest and absorb fat.

Avoid eating foods high in fat

It is not advisable to eat too much fat. Foods such as fatty meat, fried foods, dried fruits, sausages, etc. should be avoided. A low-fat diet can not only alleviate the digestive symptoms of liver cancer patients, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, etc., but also the low fat content in the diet can also reduce the degree of pain in the liver area to a certain extent. However, there is no diffuse damage to liver cells in the early stage of liver cancer, so there is no need to strictly limit fat like hepatitis patients. Generally, it should not cause nausea and vomiting. Because fat as a nutrient is also very necessary for liver cancer patients.
