People With Hepatitis B or Cirrhosis Need Regular Tests for Liver Cancer
Anyone with chronic hepatitis B can develop liver cancer, even before cirrhosis occurs. People from sub-Saharan Africa and certain Asian countries have a higher incidence of hep B. For those at risk, doctors often recommend regular lab tests and ultrasounds to look for signs of cancer. If caught early, liver cancer may be cured with surgery or liver transplantation.
