FAQ’S
The prognosis depends on the cancer stage at diagnosis, the patient’s overall health, and response to treatment. Early-stage liver cancer has a better prognosis, while advanced-stage cancer often has a poorer outcome.
High-risk individuals, such as those with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis, should undergo regular screening, typically every 6 months, with ultrasound and blood tests (AFP levels).
Lifestyle changes that can help reduce the risk include limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight, managing diabetes effectively, avoiding exposure to aflatoxins, practicing safe hygiene to prevent hepatitis infection, and receiving the hepatitis B vaccine.
