This cancer has no obvious early symptoms. How can we prevent it?

In China, the incidence and mortality of liver cancer exceed half of the global rate. Among them, hepatitis B virus is the biggest hidden danger of inducing liver cancer. More than 80% of liver cancer is caused by hepatitis B or hepatitis B virus carriers.

Chronic hepatitis B is one of the causes of cirrhosis and liver cancer in my country and even around the world.

1. Early liver cancer symptoms are not obvious and difficult to detect

Everyone knows that early detection is important for cancer.

There are various little methods circulating on the Internet, claiming that liver cancer can be diagnosed based on just one or two symptoms, but basically none of them are reliable.

Because the early symptoms of liver cancer are very subtle.

This starts with the characteristics of the internal organs.

Many of the human internal organs have a magical function: only a portion of them is enough.

This is the case with the liver, a healthy liver only needs about 1/4 for the body to function properly.

In the early stages of liver cancer, liver function is often sufficient, so the human body is likely to have no obvious abnormalities.

Many patients do not find out that they have advanced liver cancer until the tumor grows so large that it bulges their stomach. But even at this time, the patient's liver function may be normal.

In short, to determine whether you have liver cancer, you still have to rely on regular physical examinations and further tests.

2. How to prevent it?

An unhealthy lifestyle is an important factor in causing liver cancer, so we should start from the little things:

1. Get rid of the habit that hurts your liver the most: excessive drinking

This is especially true for those who feel uncomfortable if they don’t drink for a day, but their liver can’t stand it.

In a nutshell: don't smoke, drink less (preferably not drink), eat a balanced diet, and exercise regularly; these three are essential for preventing any type of cancer.

2. Do not eat moldy or spoiled food

Moldy food may contain the carcinogen "aflatoxin", which is closely related to liver cancer, so be careful.

3. Regular physical examinations and reasonable cancer screening

Liver cancer is very dangerous, and early detection and early treatment are the best ways.
