What Causes Liver Cancer
« on: May 21, 2015, 01:11:10 pm »
New study published in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results–Medicare database breaks it down:

Liver cancer was linked to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 48 percent of cases, to fatty liver disease in 26 percent, alcoholic liver disease in 14 percent, hepatitis B virus (HBV) in 8 percent, and autoimmune hepatitis or biliary cirrhosis in 4 percent.
