Brief description Liver cancer (HCC) is a serious global issue with high mortality. Viral hepatitis is a major risk and HCC can be prevented by early detection and treatment of hepatitis B infection. The PROLIFICA study aims to identify risks for HCC in West Africa, evaluate prevention strategies and develop simple diagnostic tests to help with HCC management in resource-poor settings. This important research will be directly translatable for HCC prevention in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
