During National Cancer Prevention Week, which is observed annually from April 15 to 21 in China since its inception by the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association in 1995, Dr. Michael Millis shared key insights on liver cancer prevention and common myths related to detox diets.

Dr. Millis, who is a professor of surgery and vice chair for global surgery at the University of Chicago, addressed critical questions that arise concerning liver cancer prevention - a condition often labeled as the 'silent killer'.

In his discussion, Dr. Millis highlighted that liver cancer can indeed be prevented. He emphasized the importance of avoiding viral hepatitis, which is a significant risk factor for the disease, along with limiting alcohol consumption and adhering to a healthy diet.

Additionally, Dr. Millis tackled a prevalent myth regarding detox diets and their supposed efficacy against liver cancer. He firmly stated that these diets do not provide any substantial benefits in the treatment or prevention of liver cancer.

For those seeking to better understand liver cancer and the steps they can take for prevention, Dr. Millis’s insights shed light on practical measures that can significantly reduce risk factors associated with this serious health condition.

The importance of effective cancer awareness and prevention strategies cannot be overstated, especially given the growing incidence of liver cancer globally.
