What causes liver cancer is a commonly asked question and this video answers this question in a very simplistic language. The video discusses the risk factors for liver cancer, symptoms and signs of liver cancer, and prevention strategies for liver cancer.
Liver cancer, like many cancers, can be caused by a variety of factors. Some common risk factors for liver cancer include chronic infection with hepatitis B or C viruses, heavy alcohol use, fatty liver disease (especially non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD), exposure to certain toxins and chemicals, as well as genetic factors, and certain rare diseases. Prevention strategies often involve lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol consumption, getting vaccinated against hepatitis B, avoiding high-risk behaviors such as sharing needles and getting regular check-ups for liver health.
