October is Liver Cancer Awareness Month
This October, Oneida Comprehensive Health Division joins communities across the nation in recognizing Liver Cancer Awareness Month and raising awareness about the importance of liver health. Liver cancer is one of the fastest-growing causes of cancer-related deaths, yet many risk factors can be reduced through prevention, early detection, and regular medical care.
Your liver plays a vital role in keeping your body healthy by filtering toxins, aiding digestion, and storing essential nutrients. Taking steps such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, limiting alcohol use, getting recommended hepatitis screenings and vaccinations, and talking with your healthcare provider about your risk factors can help protect your liver health.
This month let's honor those affected by liver cancer, support survivors and their families, and encourage one another to learn more about prevention and early detection. Together, we can help build healthier futures for our community.
Know your risk. Protect your liver. Schedule regular checkups.
