Welcome to our Liver Cancer Connect Program
Liver Cancer Connect is a dedicated program of the Hepatitis B Foundation that was created to provide individuals and families with the information and support they need when facing the challenge of primary liver cancer. Although this is a serious diagnosis, there is good reason to have hope because of the many advances made in the early detection, management, and treatment of liver cancer. The word “cancer” can be scary and overwhelming. To help you understand more about liver cancer, this website provides information on the types of liver cancer, how the cancer is diagnosed and staged, and the different treatment options. If you recently have been diagnosed with liver cancer, learn what your next steps are here.
