Today is World Hepatitis Day

UC Davis

UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center is using World Hepatitis Day to bring attention to newly updated guidelines about who should be screened for hepatitis B (HPV), the most common cause of liver cancer worldwide.

The new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation is simple: Anyone age 18 and over should be screened for HBV at least once in their lifetime.
