Description
Tomi Akinyemiju and many Global Burden of Disease colleagues reported the burden of primary liver cancer in 2017. Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Its main causes include hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and alcohol use.
The study gives global, regional, and national figures for cases and deaths from 1990 to 2015. It breaks the totals down by cause so trends stand out. Hepatitis-linked cancer fell in some places as vaccines and treatment spread, while other causes grew. Health leaders use these numbers to target prevention where it will save the most lives.
