Patients with liver cancer are explicitly not allowed to drink alcohol.
In China, the two main culprits of liver cancer are hepatitis B and alcohol, and almost half of liver cancer patients have a history of alcohol consumption.
Alcohol can aggravate the condition of liver cancer patients. When alcohol enters the body, it relies entirely on the liver to metabolize it.
But the oxidants and superoxide produced by the liver in the process of metabolizing alcohol, which the body cannot completely remove on its own, can further aggravate the burden on the liver of liver cancer patients and affect the normal function of the residual liver, causing more serious liver damage and weakening or even affecting the effectiveness of treatment.
