Global incidence trends in primary liver cancer by age at diagnosis, sex, region, and etiology, 1990‐2017

Abstract

PLC in highly endemic regions has been partly alleviated due to the potent control of hepatitis, especially among young and middle-aged people. However, an unfavorable trend was observed in most developed countries and in elderly populations. As such, PLC prevention schedules should give more attention to NASH and elderly patients.
