1.Is advanced liver cancer contagious? If you have hepatitis B, you will be infected. Infection simply means that a disease is spread from one person to another through a certain way. There are three conditions for infection: source of infection, transmission route and susceptible people, one of which is indispensable. Clinical data prove that cancer patients themselves are not the source of infection. Experts have done such experiments that cancer tissues taken from a cancer patient and planted directly on another person did not survive and grow. 2.What are the causes of liver cancer? 2.1.Chronic liver disease: especially viral hepatitis is closely related to the development of liver cancer, which is called the “catalyst” of liver cancer by the medical profession, among which hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) are the most important. 2.2, long-term consumption of pickled, fried and smoked foods can also induce liver cancer: nitrosamines contained in pickled foods and 3,4-benzopyrene contained in fried and smoked foods can induce cancer, so we should minimize the consumption of pickled, fried and smoked foods such as cured meat, grilled meat, grilled sausages, salted fish and pickled vegetables in our daily life. 3.What are the symptoms of liver cancer? 3.1.Significant loss of appetite Patients with liver cancer will have abdominal stuffiness and distension, indigestion, sometimes nausea and vomiting. 3.2. Liver pain may appear. There may be continuous or intermittent pain in the liver area, which may be aggravated by position changes. It may radiate to the back or right shoulder. Severe abdominal pain and peritoneal irritation may occur suddenly in advanced liver cancer, which may be caused by necrosis of cancer nodules or bleeding into the abdominal cavity, and then patients often go to the emergency room with the manifestation of acute abdomen. 3.3. Systemic failure Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma may suffer from severe weakness, emaciation, progressive anemia and edema. 3.4. Jaundice, ascites and itchy skin are common symptoms of liver cancer, and jaundice is present in about 1/3 of cases. Jaundice occurs because the cancer invades the main intrahepatic bile ducts and the extrahepatic bile ducts are compressed by metastatic cancer in the hilar lymph nodes. Ascites is often caused by the patient’s pre-existing cirrhosis, the invasion of cancer tissue into the veins and the formation of cancer thrombi, and the compression of the portal vein by cancer nodes. Ascites often accumulates very quickly and may be straw yellow or blood-colored. Itchy skin is a common symptom of liver disease and liver cancer patients. How to treat liver cancer 1.Surgical treatment for liver cancer Surgical resection, for most patients in early stage of liver cancer, resection of liver cancer can be cured because the cancer is small and has not yet spread and metastasized, so surgical resection is a more effective treatment. However, the specific effect needs to be evaluated according to the patient’s physical condition and living conditions. Generally speaking, the prognosis of surgical resection for early stage liver cancer treatment is related to the size of the resection. 2.Therapeutic treatment for liver cancer What should be done if you are unfortunately suffering from liver cancer? When liver cancer patients have reached advanced stage, they can choose Chinese medicine, which is widely used in recent years and can inhibit the metastasis and recurrence of cancer cells and kill them. Moreover, TCM treatment does not destroy the function of immune system of the body, but can repair and rebuild the immune system of the body, which can help patients speed up their recovery. TCM treatment is a very good treatment method for advanced liver cancer and has unique curative effects to improve patients’ quality of life, ensure normal hematocrit, enhance physical fitness, and reduce patients’ pain in life when they have physical strength. In fact, as long as patients don’t give up hope, they will definitely be well. How to prevent liver cancer 1.Pay attention to the prevention of hepatitis Experts say that hepatitis is an important factor leading to the occurrence of liver cancer. 2.Pay attention to the improvement of drinking water Water pollution is an important cause of liver cancer, so to prevent liver cancer, we should pay attention to the problem of drinking water. Especially in rural areas, the drinking water environment should be improved by changing from drinking ditch and pond water to drinking well water, deep well water and sky fall water, or establishing small tap water plants; in cities, unpolluted water sources should be chosen as tap water sources and environmental pollution should be prevented. 3. Pay attention to the food issue Preventing liver cancer also requires good food management. This is mainly for corn and peanuts which are easily contaminated by AFB1 to prevent mold and detoxification. In the grain harvest, threshing, transportation, sun-drying, into the warehouse and other aspects of moisture preservation, the food has been obvious mold can not be eaten, the very light moldy food to take careful selection, cleaning and drugs and other methods to deal with.
