Each year, approximately 1,500 men and 650 women in New York are diagnosed with liver cancer, according to the State Department of Health. The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, so it's equally important that we each take care of ours. The liver stores nutrients, aids in digestion, and helps process the foods we eat.

You can reduce your risk of liver cancer by:
- Not smoking (or quitting if you currently do)
- Limiting alcohol use
- Getting vaccinated against hepatitis B
- Getting tested for hepatitis C and receiving medical care if you have it
