How it works
- A reference tool that shows your relative liver cancer risk as a rough 'low / moderate / high' band from factors such as hepatitis B/C virus infection history, alcohol intake, noted fatty liver and age.
- Points are added according to the number of applicable risk factors, and the band is determined from the total.
- Chronic hepatitis B/C virus infection is considered the largest cause of liver cancer, while excessive drinking and fatty liver (NASH) also raise the risk.
- This is a simple guide for reviewing your lifestyle and medical history, not an indication of any specific probability of developing the disease.
- If you know you are infected with a hepatitis virus, regular testing and medical visits are important even without symptoms.
- This tool is a general guide only and is not a diagnosis or medical care. Always consult a doctor for health-related decisions.
