LIVER CANCER RATIO DOUBLES IN PAKISTAN

[Dubious]

probably with christan, hindu or ahmadiya id @ local liquor store??

You need id? we have local liquor stores?

I wonder if contaminated sub soil water too is a culprit.

We do use so much chemical stuff - fertilizers. urea etc

Sub-soil water contaminated with hexavalent Chromium is a BIG reason. Hexavalent chromium is used in heavy mechanical industries to prevent corrosion of moving parts under pressure. If let go untreated, no of cases shooting up can be huge.

What I have noticed is over all increase of Hepatitis and this is a prelude to liver cancer. Lack of clean drinking water and poor hygienic conditions are big contributors to this problem. Excessive use of cooking oil, bad dairy and chemicals are another reason. The diet is also not balanced in Pakistan.

As I said, water contaminated with heavy metals. Hygienic conditions - not so much.

Most common liver cancer comes through hepatites

You just heard of it or you have any supporting link ?

Thank you for posting . Most of the people know about these.

I personally feel and fear that there may be other means and carriers of Hepatitis C spread for example (This is my Personal assessment you guys can either disagree with my assessment and can clear if i am wrong, with logical medical reasons), so i was saying for example i feel that insects like Mosquitoes, or lice or bed bugs may be are contributing to spread of Hepatitis C by transferring the virus through transferring infected blood from one person to another during the course of biting.

Hepatitis - C only or all later series viz. Hepatitis-C/D/E ?

Hepatitis C and cheap (sub standard alcohol) Street food and mostly quake dentist and barbers adding there share. Can be tackle easily but no body is paying any intention.

Over used cooking oil has high % of carcinogens in it. Hence chances of liver cancer shoots up.

Cancer can be very very painful in later stages. I hope no one has to suffer it.

What cr@p. You have to be one hell of a binge drinker to develop liver cancer.

well you do not need that as here in Pakistan alcohol is easily available you only need to know the sources . Here in my province KPK specially Peshawar city you can have alcohol easily . There are people whom you call and they provide you

Have you read studies showing that yes it can cause liver cancer

I dont know how much you need to consume but on this thread I think people are just discussing what can cause rather than how much will cause

Well this is the main problem. There are so many "can be the causes" of cancer, you practically have to go hungry if you want variety in your food.

Lot of people drink alcohol in moderated amounts. I hope it doesn't cause cancer. `

Since Pakistan has growing Hepatitis C and B patients hence i was referring to it in general

BTW are you Chinese?

No brother. Do I sound like one ?

No there is a member who has US flags but he is Chinese by origin, I don't remember his name so that is why I was asking. I was asking because i wanted to ask a question from him if Liver Cells can be grown medically to cure liver disease ? As there is a family friend who was suffering from Hepatitis C which had damaged his liver badly so he opted for treatment in China. They had literally regenerated liver cells and he is now living a healthy life though it had a huge cost. Now i do not know if it can be done like that?

Last but not the least you can call me "sister"

are you talking of Peter C a.k.a. @Hamartia Antidote ? He has mongoloid looking gals in his dp all the time LOL.

One thing I know about liver cells is, it can regenerate itself even when 85% damaged. Everything depends on the sharpness of the physician though and you need an army of them to recover from hepatitis.

I am sorry to hear what your friend had to go through. Hope he is well now.

How is Hepatitis C spread?
Hepatitis C is usually spread when blood from a person infected with the Hepatitis C virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. Today, most people become infected with the Hepatitis C virus by sharing needles or other equipment to inject drugs. Before 1992, when widespread screening of the blood supply began in the United States, Hepatitis C was also commonly spread through blood transfusions and organ transplants.


People can become infected with the Hepatitis C virus during such activities as

• Sharing needles, syringes, or other equipment to inject drugs
• Needlestick injuries in health care settings
• Being born to a mother who has Hepatitis C

Less commonly, a person can also get Hepatitis C virus infection through

• Sharing personal care items that may have come in contact with another person’s blood, such as razors or toothbrushes
• Having sexual contact with a person infected with the Hepatitis C virus

Can Hepatitis C be spread through sexual contact?
Yes, but the risk of transmission from sexual contact is believed to be low. The risk increases for those who have multiple sex partners, have a sexually transmitted disease, engage in rough sex, or are infected with HIV. More research is needed to better understand how and when Hepatitis C can be spread through sexual contact.

. The risk of contamination by the hepatitis C virus by accidental needle-stick injury can be estimated at 0 to 3%, and can only reach a maximum of 10% when the patient is positive for hepatitis C RNA. The risk is thus less than for hepatitis B virus (7 to 30%).

[Transmission of hepatitis C by accidental needlestick injuries. Evaluation of the risk]. - PubMed - NCBI

Though i am not sure about transmission via insect bites but heard from a consultant that bugs and flies process blood in their body before transmitting to others so chances are least..

here is something relevant

Can HIV be transmitted by insects?

Since the virus does not survive to reproduce and invade the salivary glands, the mechanism that most mosquito-borne parasites use to get from one host to the next is not possible with HIV. Mosquitoes Do Not Ingest Enough HIV Particles to Transmit AIDS by Contamination.

Hepatitis C/D/E are extremely rare even in the most backward and god-forsaken part of the world.

the strains of hepatitis responsible for liver cancer aren't spread by poor hygiene in general.
they are spread by sexual contact, blood transfusions and needle sharing by infected drug users.

one other cause could be stored grains infected with Aflatoxin- a fungal toxin.

am a doctor. It doesn't spread in the ways you mentioned.

I have seen the amount of oil floating in muslim non veg dishes. It is virtually drenched in kilos of oil. Even the oil is not light mustard or bran oil. They use animal fat instead. This is bound to happen!
