According to the World Health Organization
Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide
Mortality due to primary liver cancer
It ranks third in the cause of death from malignant tumors
The overall mortality rate was 8.7 per 100,000
It is predicted that by 2040 there will be
More than 1.3 million people died from liver cancer
According to the statistics of the China Cancer Registry, as of 2022, the number of deaths due to primary liver cancer in mainland China has reached 316,500, ranking second in both the number of deaths and the mortality rate, second only to lung cancer.
World Hepatitis Day
Well liver cancer is
What causes it?
Isn't it
Various viral hepatitis viruses?
Actually, the viral factor
Just one of the reasons
1
The hepatitis virus creeps in and invades the liver to bury the root cause
The main causes of liver cancer are viral hepatitis B, viral hepatitis C, alcoholic hepatitis, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Viral hepatitis is a protracted battle between the body and the hepatitis virus, when the body attacks the virus, it damages and clears the virus, and also leads to hepatocyte degeneration and necrosis, which can induce hepatocyte regeneration, and then form irregular nodules, resulting in post-hepatitis cirrhosis. Liver nodules formed by abnormally proliferating liver cells will eventually evolve into malignant lesions, completing the "gorgeous turn" from the general public to the "king of cancer", dragging our body into the abyss of disease.
2
Eating and drinking excessively continues, and the misfortune from the mouth will eventually have disadvantages
In addition to viral factors, there are also some bad lifestyle habits, such as drinking alcohol, eating moldy food, pickled food, etc., which are also high-risk factors for liver cancer.
Excessive alcohol consumption can significantly increase the burden on the liver, leading to liver damage; Alcohol is broken down in the liver to produce carcinogenic acetaldehyde, which increases the risk of liver cancer.
The liver plays a key role not only in detoxification and hormone production, but also in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Consumption of processed meat and fried foods is associated with a higher risk of liver cancer, and daily consumption of meat, eggs and milk can reduce the risk of liver cancer.
A diet high in sugar and fat can also promote the development of liver cancer. Hyperinsulinemia caused by high glucose can promote the proliferation and metastasis of liver cancer cells, and abnormal lipid metabolism caused by high lipids will affect the expression of some tumor suppressor genes and increase the risk of liver cancer. We need to pay more attention to the intake of fried food, high-temperature frying will turn food into high-fat and high-calorie food, which will increase the risk of fatty liver, and a large number of free fatty acids will be produced during the frying process, and even trans fatty acids, acrylamide and other harmful substances will be produced.
Aflatoxins contained in moldy foods have a synergistic effect with chronic hepatitis B virus infection and increase the incidence of liver cancer.
Intake of preserved foods was positively correlated with the occurrence of liver cancer. Preserved foods are rich in nitrate and nitrite, and the compounds formed by the protein decomposition products of the food under suitable conditions during the curing process can exhibit strong carcinogenicity and mutagenicity.
3
Age heredity is unavoidable, early treatment and early detection
Liver cancer has a certain familial aggregation and genetic predisposition, and genetic factors are one of the important risk factors for liver cancer.
Age at the time of HBV infection is one of the main factors affecting chronicity. The high risk of incidence in men and women is mainly concentrated in the age group of 40-64 years, and the risk of incidence in men and women peaks in the age group of 50-54 years and 55-59 years, respectively. The high prevalence of hepatitis B infection in mainland China is mainly concentrated in people aged 30-60 years, and the prevalence of hepatitis B infection in men is higher than that in women.
Newborns and infants under 1 year of age have a 90% risk of becoming chronic. Patients with chronic hepatitis need to be regularly rechecked with liver ultrasound, alpha-fetoprotein and other indicators, which can help detect early liver cancer and avoid or delay the progression of the disease.
After analyzing the influencing factors of liver cancer
You will come up with some countermeasures
to prevent liver disease and liver cancer
Regularize your diet and daily life
Maintain a scientific lifestyle, go to bed early and get up early, quit smoking and drinking, eat a healthy and balanced diet, pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, do not drink too much alcohol, and avoid eating moldy food, pickled food and other foods that are harmful to the liver.
Be mindful of exercise
Encourage the whole people to participate in sports, the way and method of exercise varies from person to person, and can be chosen according to individual physique and ability, the important thing is to form a sense of exercise, so that the body can be moderately exercised.
Maintain emotional stability
Long-term emotional stress and anxiety are closely related to liver health, so maintaining a happy mood and a positive attitude is also very important to prevent the occurrence of liver disease and liver cancer.
Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended as early as possible for susceptible populations, free vaccination for school-age children according to the national immunization program procedures, and early vaccination as required for high-risk groups. Patients suffering from hepatitis B should be actively treated and prevented from liver cirrhosis, pay attention to close follow-up, and strengthen early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. Patients suffering from hepatitis B should be actively treated and prevented from liver cirrhosis, pay attention to close follow-up, and strengthen early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer.
