    Recently, Hong Kong actor Wu Mengda and well-known mainland musician Zhao Yingjun died of liver cancer, and liver cancer has once again become the focus of attention.

    China is a major liver cancer country.
    In 2020, there are 910,000 new cases of liver cancer in the world, of which 410,000 new cases of liver cancer in China, accounting for 45% of the world.

    In terms of global liver cancer mortality, China is also the world's first.
    In 2020, there will be 830,000 liver cancer deaths worldwide, of which 390,000 will die from liver cancer in China.

    Screening of high-risk groups of liver cancer is helpful for early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of liver cancer, and is the key to improving the efficacy of liver cancer.

    In my country, people at high risk of liver cancer mainly include: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, excessive drinking, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, long-term consumption Foods contaminated with aflatoxin, liver cirrhosis caused by various other causes, and people with a family history of liver cancer, especially men >40 years old, are at greater risk.

    Chronic HBV infection is the main cause of liver cancer in my country.
    Among patients with liver cirrhosis and primary liver cancer in China, HBV causes 77% and 84%, respectively.

    It is recommended to use liver ultrasound and serum alpha-fetoprotein (Alpha-fetoprotein, AFP) for early screening for liver cancer, and for high-risk groups at least once every 6 months.
