The Answer to Cancer Foundation was developed to educate people about liver cancer, and to promote research, treatment and awareness of Hepatitis B as it relates to liver cancer and associated illnesses.Our mission is to raise funds for organizations and associations that have a similar mission and a large national reach.We strive to make a difference, on a local level, by generating attendance at our events, gaining financial support for our cause and by integrating the community into all of our efforts. According to the National Cancer Institute, Primary Liver Cancer (HCC) is the 4th most common cancer in the world. HCC accounts for 84% of all liver cancers. The cause of HCC is unknown but contributing factors include viral hepatitis (especially hepatitis B and hepatitis C), cirrhosis, hemochromatosis, and toxins (specifically aflatoxins) found in foods in parts of Africa and Asia. Many patients with HCC do not develop symptoms until the advanced stages of the tumor. |
