The only way to prevent hepatocellular carcinoma is to prevent liver disease. Hepatitis B can be prevented by vaccination. Exposure to aflatoxin could be reduced through better storage of grains. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C, but prevention education could potentially reduce transmission. Newer treatment options for hepatitis C and B also will reduce the risk of cancer.
