What is the cause of liver cancer? Prevention of liver cancer starts with these things

There are many causes of liver cancer, and patients want to know about these causes. The occurrence of the disease is closely related to our daily life to a large extent. Many things are caused by our bad living and eating habits in daily life, which leads to the accumulation of diseases. What is the cause of liver cancer? This should be the knowledge that many liver cancer patients want to know. The following will introduce the causes of liver cancer in life. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to prevent and treat liver cancer.

Animal experiments have shown that aflatoxin B1, a metabolite of aflatoxin, has a strong carcinogenic effect and is also a common cause of liver cancer. It exists in moldy corn, peanuts and other foods. In areas where food is seriously contaminated by aflatoxin B1, the incidence of liver cancer is also high. Nitrosamines, azo mustards, alcohol, organochlorine pesticides, etc. are all suspected carcinogens.

Some drinking water is often polluted by polychlorinated biphenyls, chloroform, etc. In recent years, it has been found that blue-green algae growing in ponds are strong carcinogenic plants that can pollute water sources. Parasitic diseases such as Clonorchis sinensis infection can stimulate bile duct epithelial hyperplasia and lead to primary bile duct cancer.

There are at least A, B, C, D, E, and G types of hepatitis viruses. The main types of viral hepatitis and liver cancer are hepatitis B and C, namely HBV and HCV. About 1/3 of liver cancer patients have a history of chronic hepatitis. The positive rate of Australia antibody (HbsAg) is significantly higher than that in low-incidence areas. It has been found that hepatitis C virus infection, like hepatitis B infection, is closely related to the onset of liver cancer [1]. Hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus are definitely one of the factors that promote cancer.

About 50% to 90% of liver cancer patients have concurrent cirrhosis. In recent years, it has been found that the proportion of hepatitis C developing into cirrhosis is no less than that of hepatitis B.

Long-term alcohol abuse is the number one killer of liver damage. This is because after alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly decomposed and metabolized in the liver. The toxicity of alcohol to liver cells causes liver cells to have obstacles in the decomposition and metabolism of fatty acids, causing fat deposition in the liver and resulting in fatty liver.

How much do we know about the causes of liver cancer? We should develop a good habit in our daily life. If we feel unwell, we must go to the hospital for examination to avoid delaying the disease and causing serious consequences. If we still have questions about the cause of liver cancer, we should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.

Prevention of liver cancer starts from daily life

To prevent liver cancer, we must start from daily life. If we can pay attention to the following points, it will be of great benefit.

1. Keep the food at home well to prevent it from getting moldy. Do not eat rice, flour, corn, soybeans, peanuts, etc. that are contaminated with aflatoxin.

2. Do not eat or eat less food containing a lot of nitramines, such as sauerkraut, pickles, salted fish, sausages, etc.

3. Quit bad habits such as alcoholism and alcoholism, and do not drink strong liquor or low-quality liquor to prevent alcohol from damaging liver cells, causing liver damage and chronic liver poisoning.

4. Pay attention to food hygiene to prevent the occurrence of viral hepatitis. Once you have viral hepatitis, you should actively seek treatment, pay attention to rest, and recover as soon as possible.

5. Actively prevent cirrhosis of the liver and maintain a cheerful spirit.
