Patient's question:
I got infected with hepatitis B when I was a child because I didn't have antibodies. Since getting the hepatitis B disease, my health has become very poor. My friend told me that hepatitis B can also lead to liver cancer. After hearing this, I felt very uneasy.Doctor's answer:
Recurrent liver cancer is primarily a result of infection with hepatitis B and C viruses, particularly for individuals with hepatitis B or carriers of hepatitis B virus, whose incidence of primary liver cancer is more than fifty times higher than that of the general population. It is also commonly caused by nutritional excess or deficiency, anemia, parasitic infections, and hereditary transmission across generations, all of which are risk factors for liver cancer.If you have liver disease, it is recommended to undergo regular check-ups to determine the need for treatment, as this can prevent the condition from worsening. There are many treatment methods for liver disease, but since symptoms vary among patients, the diagnostic approach also differs. Therefore, prompt diagnosis is essential to provide targeted treatment.
