Liver Cancer Awareness Month
October is Liver Cancer Awareness Month! Please join the Hepatitis B Foundation and other organizations in recognizing that liver cancer is a serious consequence of untreated hepatitis B. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to liver failure, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer. Liver cancer rates are rising around the world, and the 300 million people worldwide living with hepatitis B are at increased risk. With a five-year survival rate of just 18%, raising awareness about prevention and early detection is critical. Spread the word and prioritize liver health this October!

This toolkit is especially meaningful as it features real-life stories from individuals affected by hepatitis B and liver cancer, adding a personal touch to the fight against these diseases.
