How Can I Prevent Liver Cancer?

  • If you risk exposure to hepatitis, get immunized against hepatitis B.
  • Drink alcohol only in moderation.
  • If you work around chemicals linked to liver cancer, follow safety guidelines to avoid unnecessary contact.
  • Before taking iron supplements, check with a doctor to make sure you really need them.
  • Do not use anabolic steroids unless medically necessary.
