Liver and Bile Duct Cancer Incidence Rate

This indicator shows the age-adjusted incidence rate for liver and bile duct cancer in cases per 100,000 population.
Why is this important?
Liver cancer is cancer that forms in the tissues of the liver. According to the National Cancer Institute, men are more than two times more likely to develop liver cancer than women. Liver cancer incidence rates are highest among Asian/Pacific Islanders. Almost all cases of liver cancer in the U.S. occur in individuals who previously had cirrhosis, typically from chronic hepatitis B/C infection or heavy alcohol use. The number of liver cancer diagnoses and deaths among Americans has been rising slowly over the past several decades.
