Patient's question:
Does the hepatitis B virus cause liver cancer? Do hepatitis B carriers need to take preventive measures against liver cancer?Doctor's answer:
The hepatitis B virus can cause liver cancer, but only a very small number of people will develop liver cancer. Carriers of the hepatitis B virus need to take preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of liver cancer. It is important to practice health knowledge regularly and consume fewer or no foods or medications that are harmful to the liver. Examples include: moldy or spoiled food, alcohol, and Western anti-inflammatory drugs. Drinking liver-nourishing tea can be beneficial. Avoid anger, as anger harms the liver. Additionally, during the treatment of liver disease, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light and nutritious foods to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above information can assist you. Thank you.
