Hello. I'm Doctor Clayton Hess, founder of CureRays Radiation Medicine. Let me walk you through this page: Keep Liver Cancer Away®.

Most liver cancer grows quietly inside a liver already scarred by cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis. That is exactly why regular surveillance in that group — not the general public — is the one proven way to catch it early enough to treat with intent to cure.

Here is what you'll find on this page.

What lowers your risk. Get the hepatitis B vaccine — one of the few true cancer-preventing vaccines that exists, and it works; Get tested for hepatitis B and C if you never have; treating chronic infection lowers your future risk; Limit alcohol, and get help if drinking has become hard to control.

Who is at higher risk. Anyone with cirrhosis, from any cause; People with chronic hepatitis B, sometimes even before cirrhosis develops; People with chronic hepatitis C — HCV-related cirrhosis carries higher risk than cirrhosis from hepatitis B or alcohol alone.

Surveillance actually works here. There is no general-population screening for liver cancer.

Here is what you can do next.
