What are the nursing methods for liver cancer? 5 effective nursing methods for liver cancer

The treatment of bitter melon in the folks is very polarized. Many people like it very much, while others stay away from it. But the one who really gave it a "good status" was Li Shizhen, a great medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty. He called it a "first-class melon" and a rare anti-cancer melon. The bitter melon in bitter melon is known as a "fat killer". The fresh juice of bitter melon contains bitter melon glycosides and insulin-like substances, which have a good blood sugar-lowering effect and can reduce the intake of fat and polysaccharides. In addition, bitter melon can also reduce the occurrence of liver cancer.

Bitter melon can reduce the incidence of liver cancer

Bitter melon is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, which is nearly three times that of tomatoes. Vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant that can improve the body's stress resistance. The active ingredients in bitter melon can inhibit the canceration of normal cells, promote the recovery of mutant cells, have a certain anti-cancer effect, and reduce the risk of liver cancer.

Western medicine has also proven that bitter melon’s anti-cancer effect comes from a quinine-like protein, which is an active protein that can activate immune cells and kill cancer cells or other abnormal cells through immune cells. Bitter melon seeds contain a protease inhibitor that can inhibit tumor cells from secreting proteases, thereby inhibiting the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells.

What are the methods of liver cancer care?

1. Diet adjustment

The patient's diet should be carefully adjusted, mainly high in protein, high in vitamins, and nutritious and nourishing foods. If 50-100 micrograms of selenium are supplemented in the diet every day, it will be helpful for the treatment of liver cancer.

2. Do not eat moldy food

When food is moldy, it is easy to produce aflatoxin, and the carcinogenic effect of aflatoxin is 75 times greater than that of nitrosamines. It can induce liver cancer in all animals. Although the issue of inducing liver cancer in humans has not yet been determined, scholars believe that it is one of the triggering factors for liver cancer. Therefore, do not eat moldy food, and do not eat food suspected of being moldy.

3. Don’t drink too much

Data show that alcoholism is related to the occurrence of liver cancer. Patients with alcoholic cirrhosis have a high risk of liver cancer, so don't drink too much. Generally speaking, healthy people should drink less, while those with liver disease should avoid alcohol.

4. Hepatitis B vaccination

Since the occurrence of liver cancer is closely related to hepatitis B, especially in developing countries, the positive rate of hepatitis B surface antigen in the serum of liver cancer patients is greater than 50%. The World Health Organization's liver cancer prevention meeting pointed out that the correlation between hepatitis B virus and liver cancer is as high as 80%. Therefore, the hepatitis B vaccine is regarded as the first "anti-cancer vaccine". Therefore, vaccination with hepatitis B vaccine is one of the important measures to prevent liver cancer.

5. Emotional care

Patients with advanced liver cancer may experience severe pain, large amounts of ascites, jaundice, and liver and kidney failure. Appropriate analgesics and other supportive treatments must be given to relieve the patient's pain as much as possible. Patients with advanced liver cancer may be anxious, irritable, or even have suicidal thoughts because of the pain. When caring for them, we must pay more attention to their psychological and emotional aspects to help them build up their confidence in fighting cancer.
