It is figured out by liver cancer specialists from Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou that, the occurrence of liver cancer can be the result of multiple risk factors working together, like environmental pollution, heredity, infection of hepatitis, unhealthy life style and attitudes to problems. Common people can reduce above mentioned risk factors within one’s control to cut down the incidence of liver cancer.

Controllable risk factor 1: prevent from viral infection, stop medicine abusing.

The chance for chronic hepatitis patients to develop liver cancer is 10 times higher than normal people. So it is important for common people to prevent from being infected by hepatitis B and C.

Additionally people also have to note the medicine they take. Some medicines can do harm to liver, such as antibiotics, pain killers, contraceptive medicine, medicine for high blood sugar and fat, patulin and so on. Some patients of hepatitis B would abuse medicine or take some local folk prescriptions. This cannot help to treat the disease, but may ever aggravate the condition.

Controllable risk factor 2: unhealthy living habits.

The cause for liver cancer develops in more young people is related to their unhealthy living habits. Cancer specialists from Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou figure out that most young people would have the problem like excessive nutrition and obesity, unhealthy habits like take no breakfast, engorgement at night, get up late in the morning and so on, which are the risk factors of cancer.

Those living habits won’t cause liver cancer directly. However, when they take effect on human body together would be the risk for a person to develop liver cancer. Liver cancer mostly develops from liver cirrhosis. Alcohol can lead to alcoholic liver, engorgement can result in obesity which can develop to fatty hepatitis, and excessive dieting would do harm in liver…. Those are the causes of liver cirrhosis. The persons who don’t have breakfast can bring about nutritional imbalance, and the ones stay up late at night and sleep late in the morning would make biological clock of body disorder that the immunity decreases, consequently that would develop to the risk factor of liver cancer.

Controllable risk factor 3: emotion

The life pressure is getting heavier on modern people, when pressure can not relieve and one cannot regulate the attitude well that he/she will easily get sick. Emotions, work pressure and especially the negative attitudes would bring immune system harm. Many people worry about developing liver cancer after being infected by hepatitis B, so they would feel fear, dumps and even lost all desire for food and drink. If such a kind of emotion lasts for long can induce a series of change in nerves, internal secretion and immune system that the anti-cancer cells in blood decreases, then canceration really develops.

*Surgery, in addition to the appropriate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are effective in treating early cancer, but certain patients in late stage of cancer may not be tolerate surgery well as they can be relatively weak. A combination of carefully planned minimally invasive therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the side effects and discomfort of treatment and may help patient get better efficacy.
