Genetic factors are the basis of liver cancer, which determines that we have a certain susceptibility to tumor, and environmental factors are the inducement, which is the main reason for the emergence of liver cancer.

Secondly: the main reason why liver cancer has become a family genetic disease is that the genetic characteristics of people in the same family are very similar, and the living environment and eating habits are also very similar, so it is very likely that there will be familial disease. The incidence of liver cancer in the immediate family of patients with liver cancer is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Finally: liver cancer is not hereditary, but nitrosamine, aflatoxin, drinking water and other toxic substances have a very close relationship with the emergence of liver cancer, liver cancer in our northeast region, Yunnan, Guangxi, southeast coastal line is very high, which has a certain relationship with the local diet, environment and so on.
