Hepatitis C is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. While chronic hepatitis C can lead to serious liver complications, including cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) and liver cancer, it's important to note that not everyone with hepatitis C will develop liver cancer. Hepatitis C is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is the most common type of primary liver cancer. Chronic inflammation and liver damage caused by the hepatitis C virus over many years can contribute to the development of liver cancer. Regular monitoring, early detection, and appropriate medical management of hepatitis C are crucial in preventing or managing complications, including liver cancer. Advances in antiviral medications have made it possible to cure many cases of hepatitis C, reducing the risk of liver-related complications.
Both Hepatitis B and C fit this description.
The acute illness causes liver inflammation, vomiting, jaundice and rarely, death. Chronic hepatitis B may eventually cause cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Yes. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver and causes liver cell damage and destruction. If left untreated hepatitis will continue to damage the liver and can result in liver cancer, liver failure, and permanent liver damage called cirrhosis.
Yes, Chronic hepatitis B may eventually cause liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, a fatal disease with very poor response to current chemotherapy. The infection is preventable by vaccination.
