    Diet during the onset of liver cancer is critical. Patients should eat more protein-rich foods, especially high-quality protein, such as lean meat, eggs, beans, milk, etc., to prevent albumin reduction. However, in the late stage of liver cancer, when liver function is not good, protein intake should be controlled to avoid excessive protein consumption to induce hepatic encephalopathy.
