摘　　要：Liver cancer,encompassing both primary and secondary forms,presents a formidable global health challenge.According to the GLOBOCAN 2020 database,liver cancer ranks as the sixth most common cancer globally in terms of incidence,yet it stands as the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide(1).By 2040,liver cancer cases and deaths are expected to rise by 55.0%and 56.4%,respectively(2).The geographical distribution of incidence and mortality rates for these cancers varies,with the highest occurrence noted in Eastern Asia,Northern Africa,and South-Eastern Asia(2).This variation arises from a complex interplay of factors,encompassing sociodemographic aspects like age and gender,environmental exposures to viruses such as hepatitis B virus(HBV)and hepatitis C virus(HCV),and cultural habits including alcohol consumption(3,4).
