1.What is the relationship between hepatitis B and liver cancer?
It is generally believed that hepatitis B is one of the main causes of liver cancer, and chronic hepatitis B can lead to liver cirrhosis and then liver cancer. However, not all hepatitis B patients will develop into liver cancer, and only a very small percentage will progress to liver cancer.
2.Why is hepatitis B most closely related to liver cancer in China?
China is a large country with hepatitis B. About 7% of people are still infected with hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B is the most important cause of liver cancer, so it is most closely related to liver cancer in China.
3.Is hepatitis C also related to liver cancer?
Some studies show that 5%-8% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are infected with hepatitis C, suggesting that hepatitis C virus is related to liver cancer.
4.Do hepatitis patients necessarily get liver cancer?
Hepatitis B does not necessarily lead to liver cancer, but is related to individual susceptibility. With active treatment, the occurrence of liver cancer can be mostly avoided.
5.What is liver cirrhosis and how does it occur?
Cirrhosis is a common chronic progressive liver disease, which is a diffuse liver damage caused by the long-term or repeated action of one or more causes. In China, most of them are post-hepatitis cirrhosis, and a few of them are alcoholic cirrhosis and schistosomiasis cirrhosis. Pathological histology has extensive hepatocyte necrosis, nodular regeneration of residual hepatocytes, connective tissue hyperplasia and fibrous septum formation, leading to structural destruction of liver lobules and pseudobullet formation, and progressive deformation and hardening of the liver to develop cirrhosis. Common causes.
(1) Viral hepatitis
(2) Alcoholism
(3) Nutritional disorders
(4) Industrial toxins or drugs
(5) Circulatory disorders
(6) Metabolic disorders
(7) Cholestasis
(8) Schistosomiasis
(9) Unknown cause
6.What is the relationship between hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer?
Chronic hepatitis, especially chronic hepatitis B, can easily lead to cirrhosis, which in turn can easily lead to liver cancer, so there is a folk saying that liver cancer is a trilogy of hepatitis-cirrhosis-liver cancer. Although this is not entirely true, it has some truth to it.
7.What other factors are related to the occurrence of liver cancer besides hepatitis?
Aflatoxin, water pollution, genetic factors, long-term alcoholism, nitrates, organochlorine pesticides, etc.
8.Is alcohol consumption related to the occurrence of liver cancer?
Long-term alcohol abuse damages liver cells and is likely to cause liver cancer. Especially, people with red face, nausea and rapid heartbeat after drinking are more susceptible. This is due to the lack of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in their bodies.
9.Can hepatitis patients drink alcohol?
Alcohol will aggravate the damage of liver cells, so it should be absolutely forbidden to drink.
10.Is there any relationship between fatty liver and liver cancer?
There is a risk of fatty liver and liver cancer. The more alcohol is consumed, the more serious the fatty liver will be, which will lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. If hepatitis patients then drink a lot of alcohol, it will greatly accelerate the formation and development of cirrhosis and promote the occurrence of liver cancer. Simple fatty liver is related to high fat diet, alcohol consumption, lack of physical exercise, obesity, etc., which usually does not cause liver cancer.
11.What is the relationship between hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer?

12.What other factors are related to the occurrence of liver cancer besides hepatitis?
Aflatoxin, water pollution, genetic factors, long-term alcoholism, nitrates, organochlorine pesticides, etc.
13.Is alcohol consumption related to the occurrence of liver cancer?
Long-term alcohol abuse damages liver cells and is likely to cause liver cancer. Especially, people with red face, nausea and rapid heartbeat after drinking are more susceptible. This is due to the lack of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in their bodies.
14.Can hepatitis patients drink alcohol?
Alcohol will aggravate the damage of liver cells and should be absolutely prohibited.
