Progress in understanding the relationship between dietary nutrients and liver cancer
The pathogenesis of liver cancer is complex, including genetic factors, environmental factors and dietary factors, in which
the influence of dietary factors on the occurrence and development of liver cancer has been the focus of research. Poor eating habits and
unreasonable dietary combinations may lead to cancer by changing the metabolic pathway. In addition, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy,
and local ablation are considered to be the most effective ways to treat liver cancer, but malnutrition, side effects, and drug resistance limit
its clinical efficacy. More and more studies have shown that nutritional intervention has an important influence on the effect of cancer
radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Reasonable dietary nutrition and some natural food active ingredients can improve the efficacy of anti?cancer
drugs and have the effect of increasing efficacy and reducing toxicity. Therefore, dietary nutrition intervention can not only effectively prevent
the occurrence of liver cancer, but also improve treatment tolerance and therapeutic effect. The study of the relationship between dietary
and nutritional factors and liver cancer is helpful to understand the role of food and nutrition in the occurrence and development of liver
cancer and provide theoretical basis for the prevention of liver cancer. This paper reviews the studies on the effects of dietary fat, protein,
carbohydrates and some micronutrients on liver cancer in recent years, and comprehensively analyzes the dietary nutrition intervention
strategies for liver cancer from the point of view of dietary nutrients.

Abstract：The pathogenesis of liver cancer is complex, including genetic factors, environmental factors and dietary factors, in which
the influence of dietary factors on the occurrence and development of liver cancer has been the focus of research. Poor eating habits and
unreasonable dietary combinations may lead to cancer by changing the metabolic pathway. In addition, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy,
and local ablation are considered to be the most effective ways to treat liver cancer, but malnutrition, side effects, and drug resistance limit
its clinical efficacy. More and more studies have shown that nutritional intervention has an important influence on the effect of cancer
radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Reasonable dietary nutrition and some natural food active ingredients can improve the efficacy of anti⁃cancer
drugs and have the effect of increasing efficacy and reducing toxicity. Therefore, dietary nutrition intervention can not only effectively prevent
the occurrence of liver cancer, but also improve treatment tolerance and therapeutic effect. The study of the relationship between dietary
and nutritional factors and liver cancer is helpful to understand the role of food and nutrition in the occurrence and development of liver
cancer and provide theoretical basis for the prevention of liver cancer. This paper reviews the studies on the effects of dietary fat, protein,
carbohydrates and some micronutrients on liver cancer in recent years, and comprehensively analyzes the dietary nutrition intervention
strategies for liver cancer from the point of view of dietary nutrients
