What Are the Risk Factors for HCC Relevant to Gynecology?
Certain risk factors for HCC are particularly relevant to women's health. These include chronic hepatitis B or C infections, which can be transmitted perinatally or through sexual contact. Additionally, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is more common in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity, is a significant risk factor for developing HCC.
