People who get sick often have this feeling, “Why is this disease to me? Why can’t other people get it? From the smallest cold to the largest cancer, we often hear such lamentations. In addition to the reason of your immunity, whether you are in the area with high incidence of diseases or whether you are in the group with high incidence of diseases is also something we should pay attention to. Among them, liver cancer is a malignant tumor with high mortality rate, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year. So do you know in which areas liver cancer is highly prevalent? Who are the “favorites” of liver cancer? What are the bad habits in daily life that can lead to the occurrence of liver cancer? Let’s take a look at this article to improve the knowledge of liver cancer and help you stay away from it. First of all, let’s see if your area is a high incidence area of liver cancer: primary liver cancer is one of the 10 tumors with the highest incidence rate in the world, of which nearly 50% of cases occur in China, and it is also one of the diseases with the highest mortality rate in China. In the vast territory of China, the southeast coastal areas such as Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi are the high incidence areas of liver cancer. Among them, the more famous ones are such as Qidong in Jiangsu, Tongan in Fujian, Shunde in Guangdong and Fusui in Guangxi. Their mortality rate can be more than 30/100,000. This may be related to the local humid climate and food susceptibility to mold and mildew. Liver cancer mainly consists of hepatocellular liver cancer, and less than 5% of liver cancer is bile duct cell cancer, which is highly prevalent in areas with more liver flukes, such as Guangdong and Hong Kong in China. After talking about the geographical location, let’s see what are the high incidence groups? Gender: According to statistics, the high incidence of liver cancer in China is mainly in men, and its incidence rate is about 7-10 times that of women. The reasons for this difference have not been fully determined yet. As men, they should pay more attention to the health of their liver. Age: Above 40 years old, especially 50-60 years old is the high incidence age of liver cancer. It is a long process from hepatitis to cirrhosis to liver cancer, spanning over 10 years, so the high incidence is mostly over 40 years old. However, due to the influence of unhealthy lifestyle, the age of incidence is getting younger and younger. Diseases: 1. Viral hepatitis: viral hepatitis related to the development of liver cancer is mainly hepatitis B and C. China is a big hepatitis country, which is also the main reason for the high incidence of liver cancer in China, about 90% of liver cancer in China is related to viral hepatitis; 2. All causes of cirrhosis can lead to the occurrence of liver cancer. Diet: 1. People with unclean diet: those who consume moldy food and nitrite food for a long time are the people with high incidence of liver cancer. In addition, patients with low deficiency of selenium, manganese, zinc and high iron, nickel and arsenic in the body may also induce liver cancer; 2. Those who are exposed to polluted water: In the 1970s, Professor Su Delong proposed that drinking water pollution is related to the development of liver cancer. At present, it is found that drinking water containing organic benzene, organic chlorine and other substances have cancer-promoting and carcinogenic effects. In particular, algal toxins (mainly blue-green algae) found in pond water have a strong cancer-promoting effect. Long-term exposure to these polluted water sources is also a high risk group for liver cancer; 3. Alcoholics: This is a factor we often mention, long-term alcoholism hurts the liver and can easily lead to liver cirrhosis, thus leading to liver cancer. In addition, long-term alcoholics can also increase the susceptibility to cancer. So here we remind you to drink moderately and not to crave for alcohol. Family history: Those who have a family history of liver cancer should pay more attention to the observation of the liver and have regular checkups. Check against whether you are in these high prevalence areas and whether you are in the high prevalence group of liver cancer. If you are one of them, you should pay more attention to check your liver and can change your current unhealthy living habits to avoid or stay away from liver cancer early. Since the liver is a silent organ, the liver is very tolerant and it does not necessarily show up when it has problems. Again, I would like to mention to you to protect your liver and pay attention to regular checkups.
