Chronic infection with hepatitis B or C can cause long-term inflammation and damage to liver cells, leading to cirrhosis and increasing the risk of developing liver cancer.
Lifestyle changes include avoiding alcohol or drinking in moderation, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding risky behaviors that can lead to hepatitis infection.
People at high risk, such as those with chronic hepatitis B or C, cirrhosis, or a family history of liver cancer, should discuss screening options with their healthcare provider.
Treatment options depend on the stage of the cancer and may include surgery, liver transplant, ablation, embolization, radiation therapy, targeted drug therapy, and immunotherapy.
Liver cancer is diagnosed through a combination of blood tests, imaging tests (such as ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI), and sometimes a liver biopsy.

Liver cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the liver. The most common type is hepatocellular carcinoma, which starts in the main type of liver cell (hepatocyte).
