Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): A condition characterized by the buildup of fat in the liver, often associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Exposure to aflatoxins: Consuming foods contaminated with aflatoxins, a type of mold toxin, can increase the risk of liver cancer. Alcohol abuse: Excessive and long-term alcohol consumption can damage the liver cells and increase the risk of liver cancer.
