What are the three major factors that are most likely to induce liver cancer?

Liver cancer is a very common disease nowadays. This disease has a great impact on the patient's life. According to surveys, many people still don't know much about this disease.

1. The relationship between liver disease and liver cancer: At present, it has been noticed clinically that patients with liver cancer often have a history of acute hepatitis → chronic hepatitis → cirrhosis. From a pathological point of view, about 50-80% of patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma are accompanied by cirrhosis: and 18.2-50% of patients with bile duct epithelial cell carcinoma of primary liver cancer are accompanied by cirrhosis. This figure shows the close relationship between the two diseases. Liver cancer may be the result of excessive regeneration of liver cells caused by cirrhosis. In addition, through the determination of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsag) in liver cancer patients, it was found that the positive rate of HBsag in liver cancer patients was as high as 81.82%. This result seems to indicate that he had suffered from hepatitis B before, but the relationship between the two needs further study. But one thing is certain, preventing viral hepatitis and cirrhosis is very important to reduce the occurrence of liver cancer.

2. Aflatoxin and its toxins: A large number of scientific experiments have proven that feeding experimental animals with foods containing aflatoxin or its toxins can cause liver cancer in animals. Therefore, some people believe that the southern part of Africa is more humid, and foods are less likely to mold, and the incidence of liver cancer is also relatively low. Foods that are prone to mold include rice, wheat, soybeans, peanuts, and corn.

3. Others: Ingestion of excessive food containing nitrosamine compounds, parasitic diseases.

To sum up: After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of this disease. I hope the above can be helpful to everyone.
