3 Risk Factors for Liver Cancer

A study reveals 3 risk factors that could be managed to prevent liver cancer. Some types of cancer can be treated, with patients going on to live normal lives; however, other types may lead to permanent disability. If this is the case, then Social Security disability benefits can address the financial burden an individual may be left with.

In a report from the American Cancer Society, there are 3 risk factors that could lead to liver cancer including: 

• heavy drinking;
• obesity; and
• smoking. 

Of the participants in this study, 10% of the cases of liver cancer were attributed to heavy drinking, obesity was found to be the cause in 16% of the cases, and smoking was the culprit in almost half of the cases.

The finding of this study reinforces the need to reduce risk factors. Cutting out any of these preventable lifestyle issues can also decrease the risk of other serious cancers in the lungs, stomach, mouth, throat, esophagus, pancreas, kidneys, uterus, and cervix.
