Can liver cancer be prevented?

Although one can never be completely safe from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer, the following steps will help reduce your risk of contracting the cancer:

- Be vaccinated against hepatitis B.
- Nuts and grains should be properly stored.

Lifestyle changes such as safe sexual practices, smoking cessation and drinking alcohol in moderation, will also reduce the risk of liver cancer.
