Who should receive the Liver Cancer Health Screening Plan?
To reduce the risk of developing liver cancer, it is recommended that individuals who have no symptoms but are at high risk undergo the relevant screening.
High-risk individuals include:
- Chronic Hepatitis B carriers
- Chronic Hepatitis C carriers
- People with cirrhosis
- Alcoholics
- Smokers
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH): Obesity, diabetes mellitus and other metabolic disorders can cause liver damage, leading to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
These include unexplained weight loss, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (or jaundice), loss of appetite, dark urine, light-coloured stools, abdominal pain and swelling.
