Liver Cancer Awareness Month
According to the charity Liver Cancer UK there are over 6,000 new cases
of primary liver cancer diagnosed each year.
In the early stages it does not usually cause any symptoms so it can be
difficult to detect early. Liver Cancer
Awareness Month aims to raise awareness and funds to improve early detection of
the disease and to support those affected by it.
