Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer. Luckily, it can be treated if caught at an early stage. Unfortunately, HCC is not pften caught early enough.
In this video, I discuss who is at risk of HCC, what the most common risk factor is for HCC (Cirrhosis), what are additional risk factors (Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C), who should be screened for Hepatocellular Carcinoma, at what age should people be screened, and how should people be screened for HCC. Additionally, I discuss when HCC screening should stop.
