Abstract:

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a kind of primary liver cancer with high morbidity

and mortality. Its disease progression is complicated. Although the guidelines for screening and

monitoring have been improved, there is currently no research on the pathogenesis of HCC. Perfection

requires a deeper understanding of its mechanism. This article summarizes the independent risk factors

related to HCC through epidemiology, and provides a basis for reducing and preventing the incidence of

HCC by raising awareness, better screening and surveillance methods, and adjusting targeted prevention

and treatment interventions.
