What are the methods to prevent liver cancer? This fish is the most effective in preventing liver cancer

According to Science and Technology Daily, a survey result recently released by the National Cancer Research Center of Japan stated that people who often eat fish with blue backs such as mackerel, saury, sardines and eels have about 40% lower risk of liver cancer than those who do not eat these fish much.

Fish with blue backs, such as mackerel, are collectively called "black fish" in Japan. These fish have very high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. Researchers conducted a long-term follow-up survey of about 90,000 residents aged 45 to 74 in nine prefectures in Japan from 1995 to 2008. The researchers recorded the amount of eight kinds of fish, such as sardines and eels, that these people consumed. The eight kinds of fish selected were all species with high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. The results showed that the group of people who consumed a total of about 70.6 grams of the above fish per day had a 36% lower risk of liver cancer than the group who only consumed about 9.6 grams per day.

Many people find liver cancer a very scary disease. Although there are many treatments for liver cancer, there is still no specific drug for the treatment of liver cancer. Therefore, liver cancer is not an easy disease to cure, but it can be prevented. Let's take a look at the measures to prevent liver cancer, hoping to help patients.

So far, there is still a lack of a unified and fixed treatment plan that can be applied to all liver cancer patients, so the treatment of liver cancer should be individualized. In the treatment of each liver cancer patient, multiple disciplines such as surgery, imaging, interventional medicine, and oncology need to complement each other and organically combine. The choice of early treatment plan will greatly affect the prognosis of liver cancer patients. Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment and prevention are particularly important.

For men aged ≥35 years, those with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and those who are alcoholics, the examination is generally performed every 6 months. For those with AFp>400μg/L and no liver mass found by ultrasound examination, CT and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed after excluding pregnancy, active liver disease, and gonadal embryonic tumors. If AFp increases but does not reach the diagnostic level, in addition to excluding the above-mentioned conditions that may cause AFp increase, the dynamic changes of AFp should be closely tracked, the ultrasound examination interval should be shortened to 1-2 months, and CT and/or MRI examinations should be performed when necessary. If liver cancer is highly suspected, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) hepatic artery iodized oil contrast examination is recommended. Be highly vigilant against symptoms such as anorexia, fatigue, poor spirits, prolonged low fever, edema, and pain in the liver area to achieve early detection.

To prevent liver cancer, you should pay attention to the following points in your daily life:

1Avoid emotional fluctuations, maintain an optimistic mental state, and try to avoid or reduce various stimulating activities that cause emotional fluctuations;

2. Avoid overwork: Excessive mental or physical labor can not only reduce the body's resistance of liver cancer patients, causing cancer recurrence or metastasis, but also aggravate liver damage and lead to worsening of the disease;

3. Get rid of bad lifestyles or habits: avoid smoking and drinking, do not eat moldy food, eat less pickled meat products, etc.;

4. Regular life, daily living, outdoor activities, diet and nutrition, physical exercise;

5. Avoid infection with hepatitis B and hepatitis C. The prevention and treatment of liver cancer is a long and arduous task.
