The link between viral hepatitis and one of Australia's deadliest cancers
An alarming new report has found liver cancer deaths have risen from 1.6 deaths per 100,000 people in the 1980s to 5.1 per 100,000 in 2018–2022.
I am having my test on Friday as I had hepo in PNG several times in the 70's. My SiL recently died from liver cancer which may have been a result of her definitely contracting hepo in PNG in the 80s.
Unless you live in one of the red or yellow countries in the chart below this will be covered by your national health service. Sorry but if you are in one of those fifth or sixth medical world countries you will have to pay for both the test and the treatment.
