How is Liver Cancer Related to Other Liver Disorders?
Liver cancer often develops in the context of pre-existing liver disorders. For instance, chronic hepatitis B or C infections can lead to cirrhosis, which significantly increases the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer. Similarly, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which may further lead to cirrhosis and subsequently liver cancer.
