The Lancet Commission on liver cancer is a global panel of health experts focused on understanding and preventing liver cancer. It brings together researchers and clinicians from institutions like the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Fudan University. Their work highlights how risk factors such as obesity, alcohol consumption, and hepatitis drive the rise in cases worldwide. The Commission emphasizes that up to 60 percent of liver cancers are preventable through lifestyle changes, vaccination, and early detection. Its findings, published in The Lancet, aim to guide governments and health agencies in reducing future liver cancer rates and saving lives.
