Abstract

This study aims to explore the epidemiological characteristics and related risk factors of primary liver cancer in Guangxi. The research collected medical records of 610 patients diagnosed with liver cancer at the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities from 2014 to 2023. Factors such as gender, age, ethnicity, urban-rural distribution, medical history, smoking history, alcohol consumption history, treatment methods, and complications were analyzed using a chi-square test. The results showed that liver cancer patients were primarily middle-aged males, with a higher proportion of Zhuang ethnic group and rural patients. There was a significant correlation between a history of liver disease and the onset of the disease. Although smoking and alcohol consumption did not show statistical significance, their potential risks still require attention. This study provides a scientific basis for early screening and prevention strategies for liver cancer and emphasizes the importance of health interventions targeting high-risk populations.
