I've heard that liver cancer is quite aggressive, but what conditions or behaviors make people more susceptible to it?

Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (hbv) or hepatitis C virus (hcv) is one of the main risk factors for liver cancer.

True,. Besides viral hepatitis, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity and diabetes also put you at higher risk.

Let's not forget about aflatoxins, which are produced by fungi that contaminate crops like peanuts and corn under certain conditions. Aflatoxins ingestion has been linked to liver cancer as well.
