- An estimated 2.4 million Americans, including veterans, are chronically infected with hepatitis C (HCV) and it's linked to both liver cancer and potentially other extrahepatic cancers (EHCs).
- The study reviewed data from 1541 patients at a VA clinic to examine the impact of liver fibrosis and chronic HCV infection on the risk of developing EHCs.
