Liver Cancer Risk Factors

Factors that increase the risk of primary liver cancer include:

  • Chronic infection with the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
  • Excessive alcohol consumption and Cirrhosis.
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. An accumulation of fat in the liver increases the risk of liver cancer (due to obesity, diabetes, etc.).
  • Certain inherited liver diseases, including Hemochromatosis and Wilson’s disease.
