09.01.2022 Did you know... People with viral hepatitis can be at increased risk of liver cancer. Screening can lead to early detection and curative treatment. Liver cancer is the most common cause of death in patients with hepatitis B. It is asymptomatic and hence, the only way to diagnose it early is by screening. If you have hepatitis B, you may need screening. This is simple with ultrasound on a 6 monthly basis. It could save your life. High risk groups are older persons, those with advanced disease (cirrhosis) and a positive family history of liver cancer. Treatment is available.
