For any kind of malignant tumor, prevention should be the main focus, and the same is true for liver cancer. For liver cancer, the focus of prevention is to actively treat liver diseases, the most common of which are viral hepatitis, cirrhosis and other diseases, especially viral hepatitis, which is currently the key factor causing liver cancer. The following is an introduction to the prevention of liver cancer: Preventing hepatitis Using hepatitis vaccines to prevent hepatitis and thus liver cancer has become one of the most promising ways to prevent liver cancer. Not only should children be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine when they are born, but adults who have not been vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine and have not had hepatitis can also be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine. However, it is estimated that it will take decades to see the effect. In addition to the injection of hepatitis B vaccine, attention should also be paid to the control of other transmission routes, such as diet, surgery, blood transfusion, injection, acupuncture and hairdressing. Pay attention to food hygiene One of the causes of liver cancer is caused by viruses. To prevent hepatitis B virus, we must start with food hygiene and living habits. Wash your hands frequently and eat separately. It is worth noting that people with hepatitis cannot be chefs. Do not eat moldy or mushy food, as this type of food contains aflatoxin, which is carcinogenic. Eating moldy food can also easily cause liver cancer. Do not drink polluted water Drinking water should not be polluted. Drinking water with chemicals can easily cause cancer. Tap water is not necessarily clean. There are water tanks on the roofs of buildings with more than 5 floors. The water tanks should be cleaned by a dedicated person and it is best to perform secondary disinfection. The water tank body should also use chemicals that will not pollute water. Quit smoking and drinking Smoking and drinking are also bad for fatty liver. People think that drinking wine, beer, or a small amount of alcohol can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. In fact, this is not true. Alcohol is harmful to the human body. The gastric mucosa in the stomach protects the human body. Alcohol can digest the gastric mucosa, injure the cells of the stomach, and the toxic substances in the food are easily absorbed by the stomach. This can easily cause alcoholic hepatitis, reduce the immune function of the liver and the whole body, and damage the detoxification function of the liver. This is why people who drink have poor detoxification function and are prone to alcoholic cirrhosis, and some cirrhosis will turn into liver cancer. In most cases, the symptoms of early liver cancer are not obvious. Therefore, the safest and most reliable way to detect early liver cancer is to have regular physical examinations, especially for people with a high risk of liver cancer, such as people with a family clustering of liver cancer, or patients with viral hepatitis. What foods can prevent liver cancer? ① The alliinase in garlic has anti-cancer effects. If you slice the garlic and leave it in the air for 10 minutes before eating it, the alliinase will play a more significant anti-cancer role. ② Steaming broccoli for three or four minutes can greatly increase the effectiveness of the anti-cancer substance "sulforaphane" contained in it. It should be noted that it cannot be heated in a microwave oven, otherwise the substance will be destroyed. |
