How can patients with liver disease prevent liver cancer? Which liver cancers are symptoms caused by hepatitis?

Which symptoms of liver cancer are caused by hepatitis? Which symptoms are caused by cirrhosis? Or are they caused by early liver cancer? There is no clear dividing line in this process, and patients cannot feel it. Only when the tumor invades the nerves will the patient experience pain symptoms, but by the time the symptoms appear, the patient will find that it is already in the late stage, and it is difficult to detect it early. Because there are relatively limited effective treatments for late-stage liver cancer, liver cancer has a high incidence and high mortality rate, and is called the king of cancer.

Regarding the prevention of liver cancer, there are many causes from the perspective of the pathogenic factors. According to the chief physician of the Oncology Department of Zibo Wanjie Cancer Hospital, there are many pathogenic factors for liver cancer. In our country, the first one is hepatitis virus. There are basically two types of hepatitis viruses that can cause liver cancer, one is hepatitis B virus and the other is hepatitis C virus. The incidence of liver cancer caused by hepatitis B virus is higher than that caused by hepatitis C virus, about four times. Patients are also highly contagious, such as mother-to-child transmission and accidental blood contact.

Alcohol also has a catalytic effect on the initiation of liver cancer. This is because many people, especially in this kind of living environment, have a lot of social activities. Long-term and excessive drinking will damage the liver. This is because alcohol is metabolized by the liver. If alcohol damages liver cells, it will affect the metabolism, synthesis, and decomposition of fatty acids, which will affect the accumulation of fat in the liver. Over time, fatty liver will form, and after a long time, it will cause hardening of the liver organ, and cirrhosis will induce liver cancer.

Another one is aflatoxin, which is mainly found in moldy peanuts or other moldy foods, and usually occurs in a humid and warm environment. There is also the gutter oil that people often talk about, which is also one of the causes of liver cancer. Hepatitis B, alcohol, and aflatoxin are complementary and synergistic. These three factors are 1+1 greater than 2, and 1+2 greater than 3. There are also some water pollution, there is a kind of blue-green algae, which is also very carcinogenic. Long-term drinking of stagnant polluted water will increase the incidence of liver cancer. There are other factors such as smoking, environmental pollution, chemical pollution, infiltration of nitrosamines or pesticides, and others are overnutrition or malnutrition, or lack of trace elements, which may cause it.

In short, we must maintain good habits in terms of living habits, eating habits, and exercise habits to prevent the occurrence of liver cancer. For patients who are already suffering from hepatitis B or hepatitis C, as well as patients who already have cirrhosis, fatty liver, and liver disease, Wanjie experts also made the following suggestions.

Experts say: The first thing patients with liver disease need is to control the virus. These patients should take oral drugs that inhibit the replication of hepatitis virus for a long time. We emphasize that this drug should not be stopped casually, nor should the dosage be reduced or changed casually. If the patient stops taking the drug suddenly, it will cause a sudden surge in the replication of the hepatitis virus, which will increase the burden on the liver, damage liver cells, and further accelerate cirrhosis. First, it will accelerate the progression of cirrhosis, and second, it will accelerate the degree of cirrhosis, both of which will accelerate the occurrence of liver cancer.

Patients should try to quit smoking and drinking and develop good eating habits. At the same time, they should pay attention to rest and not be too tired, because fatigue or excessive sadness or anger will damage liver cells. It is recommended that patients have a peaceful mentality and not be impatient. Having a positive state, a regular life, proper exercise, and enhancing the body's immunity will have a good effect on the occurrence of liver cancer.
