Around one in five people globally suffer from chronic liver disease (CLD),1 despite 90% of cases being preventable.2 This usually undetected disease silently progresses to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the third leading cause of cancer death.3,4
If something doesn’t change, it is predicted that deaths from liver cancer will increase by more than 50% by 2040.3
OneLiver Science hub is a repository of information on chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, examining the increasing burden of global disease, discussing the unmet clinical need for screening of patients at risk of HCC and the benefits of early detection, through patient prognosis by disease stage and available treatments between early and advanced disease, and finally the benefits of managing patients with a dedicated HCC MDT and the barriers and avenues to building a successful clinical team.
Our OneLiver mission is to help stop, or even reverse the disease, and our ambition is to one day cure it. Our core expertise will continue to focus on cutting-edge diagnostics and treatment. To enable greater impact, partnerships are key. We want to work together with liver specialists, researchers and patient organisations on ambitious programmes across the disease continuum to prevent progression and ultimately save lives.
