Liver Cancer Awareness Month - October 2026

By

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.
