Global public health is in focus at #EASLCongress as EASL, WHO, and ECDC join forces for the symposium on Targeting viral hepatitis for HCC prevention. This session is addressing the urgent link between hepatitis B and C infections and liver cancer, highlighting the importance of scaling up prevention, treatment, and surveillance to achieve elimination goals. Speakers are sharing critical epidemiological insights, strategic public health interventions to reduce HCC mortality, and lessons learned from real-world sentinel surveillance projects across Europe. A vital session reinforcing the message that tackling viral hepatitis is essential for building a healthier future and preventing liver cancer.
