Why is it always too late to detect liver cancer? If you want to stay away from liver cancer, these 3 "culprits" should stay away

According to data, in 2020, the number of new cancer cases and deaths in China ranks first in the world. As the fourth largest cancer in China, the number of new cases of liver cancer reached 410,000 and the number of deaths reached 390,000.

Unfortunately, once liver cancer is found in most patients, it is often at an advanced stage.

Because a healthy liver only needs 1/4 to make a person work properly, usually in the early days, the liver function is still very sound, and it is impossible for the body to show symptoms of liver function decline.

It is easy to transfer liver cancer. The most common is intrahepatic metastasis. Because the tumor may block blood vessels, it is also likely to cause cancer recurrence.

To stay away from liver cancer, the most important thing is to prevent it.

Because liver cancer is a common malignant tumor, the early symptoms are not obvious. Many patients only detect the disease in the middle and late stage, thus missing the best treatment time, resulting in irreversible consequences.

As the saying goes, "prevention is better than treatment", as long as it is properly prevented, it can avoid the invasion of diseases.

In medicine, these factors may become the "culprit" of liver cancer.

1. Aflatoxin

Clinical experiments have confirmed that some patients with liver cancer have no history of hepatitis C, hepatitis B virus infection, and no other liver diseases. It was discovered after investigating the reasons that such people are often exposed to carcinogenic ingredients, the most important of which is aflatoxin.

Because aflatoxin has more than 10 metabolites, aflatoxin BL is one of them, which has direct relationship with liver cancer.

Aflatoxin is usually found in moldy food, so moldy food must not be eaten.

2. Contaminated drinking water

With the aggravation of environmental pollution in recent years, a lot of algae are propagated in many water sources. Among them, cyanobacteria and Microcystis have strong carcinogenic effect.

If people drink these polluted water quality, it will induce the occurrence of liver cancer. Therefore, it is an important condition to prevent liver cancer to pay attention to the health of drinking water.

3. Drinking, smoking

Heavy drinking is also an important cause of liver damage. Alcohol intake is closely related to the incidence rate of liver cancer. The greater the amount of alcohol consumption, the higher the risk of liver cancer. Nicotine, cocaine, nitrosamines and other components in tobacco are carcinogens.

Long term smoking will cause damage to liver cells, which can induce the occurrence of liver cancer.

For ordinary people, how likely is the risk of being "stared" by liver cancer?

Although China has the highest incidence of liver cancer in the world, 90% of patients have a long-term history of chronic liver disease. If there is no liver disease such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or cirrhosis, ordinary patients are less likely to have liver cancer, so don't worry too much.

The so-called "anorexia", "fidgety", "upper abdominal pain" and other symptoms are not accurate. If there is any performance, the liver may be about to collapse.

In our daily life, we still need to actively prevent the occurrence of liver cancer, develop healthy eating habits, avoid spicy and spicy food, heavy salt and heavy oil, actively participate in physical exercise, improve the body immunity, in order to better avoid diseases.
