A member asked:
Dr., i like to ask what is the highest factor for a person to have liver cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk factor, right?: I'm assuming you were not given thorium dioxide in the 1950's for a radioactive liver scan. Probably hemochromatosis. Hepatitis b is probably second, followed by hepatitis c. Alcohol abuse progressed to cirrhosis is probably a risk factor as well.
