18. Can someone with normal ALTs (liver enzyme levels) develop liver cancer?
|
Yes, because the cancer is caused by the virus
causing genetic changes, which is quite different than talking about
the physical damage to your liver. Right now, we can't predict who with chronic
hepatitis B will develop liver cancer and who won't, and this is why
we need more screening programs.
