Scientists call hepatitis B and C the main factors, alcohol and obesity.
In the middle of the century, the number of new liver cancer cases in the world could increase by almost double – from 870 thousand to 1.52 million per year if the steps were not taken to combat major risk factors. It was reported in a large -scale study published in the medical journal The Lancet.
Cancer in the liver is in the form of widespread oncology, as well as the third in mortality: by 2050, the disease can take 1.37 million lives annually. However, experts note that about 60% of cases of this disease will be prevented.
Among the main causes is the use of alcohol, viral hepatitis B and C, as well as the accumulation of liver fat due to obesity, known as moreld (non -alcoholic fatty disease).
The greatest threat, as expected, will continue to cause hepatitis B and C.’s viruses to cause newborns vaccinations, but its incidence remains low in low -income countries, especially in the African region in the south of Sahara. If the situation does not change, the number of deaths from 2015 to 2030 due to hepatitis B can reach 17 million.
At the same time, part of liver cancer cases associated with alcohol consumption will increase by more than 21%by 2050, which is more than two percent more than 2022. The number of cases caused by obesity increases: from 8.9%to 11%.
Those with the study have called for immediate global actions and an increased awareness of the risks of liver cancer. Particular attention is recommended to be paid to people with obesity or diabetes in the USA, Europe and Asia, informing them of the risk of fatty liver.
Remember that it was previously reported that Air pollution is associated with mutations that cause lung cancer.
