Xu Bingyi (Doctor of Gastroenterology, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital) In Taiwan, China, liver disease is known as a "provincial disease". It kills nearly 12,000 people a year, which means an average of 1.4 People die from liver disease. Liver cancer is also the "top cancer" among Chinese people. About 7,000 people in Taiwan die of liver cancer every year.
Liver cancer is certainly a shame, but if everyone can know whether they have high-risk factors for liver cancer as soon as possible, and establish a solid self-defense mechanism, it will not be difficult to effectively block liver cancer!
Here are some tips for everyone to stay away from liver cancer:
1. Know whether you have risk factors for liver cancer as early as possible: risk factors for liver cancer include hepatitis B virus carriers, hepatitis C virus carriers, alcoholics, chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis caused by various causes, and Those with a family history of liver cancer. Since liver cancer mostly occurs after the age of 20, it is best for everyone to start the self-defense system of liver cancer before the age of 20, check whether they are carriers of chronic hepatitis B or C, and whether they have chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis of the liver.
2. Use ultrasound and alpha-fetoprotein as tools for screening liver cancer: most of the liver function tests of patients with liver cancer are normal or slightly abnormal, but the most common causes of mild abnormal liver function are chronic hepatitis and fatty liver, so If you want to know whether you have liver cancer through liver function tests, the most effective clinical detection tools are "ultrasound" and "alpha-fetoprotein". Ultrasound can detect more than 80% of liver cancer, and alpha-fetoprotein can detect about 60% of liver cancer. The two complement each other and are currently a powerful tool for screening liver cancer.
3. Regular examination, persevere: carriers of hepatitis B or hepatitis C and any chronic hepatitis patients, it is best to have liver cancer screening at least every six months; and the probability of liver cancer in patients with liver cirrhosis is as high as 1/4 in the future. It must be checked every 3 to 4 months; as for those who do not have high risk factors, it is advisable to have liver function, hepatitis C and hepatitis C, type A fetoprotein and abdominal ultrasound examination every 5 years to find out whether Unknowingly, I have become a high-risk group for liver cancer.

"The last article was talking nonsense. After talking about it for a long time, it is better to check and then check again. Can the test prevent hepatitis? What if it is found to have liver cancer? What's more, too much radiation is more likely to cause cancer, and once the patient knows that he has got it. After liver cancer, I was scared to death long ago. In addition to the three deadly tricks of western medicine, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, even healthy people will die if they accept these three deadly tricks, let alone those who are already sick.

"People who really want to prevent liver cancer don't need to work so hard to do unnecessary checkups.
