 I am Dr. Olyth Selvan, Consentant Heptologist and Chairman Division of Liver Transplantation in Manipal Hospital. Yes, liver cancer can be prevented. When you say prevention, you're talking about two things. One is a primary prevention where you prevent people from getting the liver cirrhosis. The main way by which we can do that is preventing hepatitis B infection. That is by taking hepatitis B immunization as soon as they're born or early in childhood. Second is by preventing non-alcoholic fat liver disease, which essentially is a lifestyle modification. So you need to have healthy diet, regular exercise, which will prevent fat liver disease and through that will prevent fat liver disease associated cirrhosis. But once you get cirrhosis, you are then looking at diagnosing liver cancer if it occurs at a very early stage. So if you diagnose this at an early stage, you can give it a potential curative treatment either in the form of liver transplantation or liver resection. And this is done by doing an ultrasound abdomen and a blood test called alpha-phetoprotein once every six months in every patient who has got cirrhosis of liver or in selected patients who have got hepatitis B viral infection.
