Malignant biliary obstruction: Percutaneous transhepatic drainage and stenting

Malignant biliary obstruction: Percutaneous transhepatic drainage and stenting - How to prevent?

Consume alcohol only in moderation and avoid alcohol abuse.

Ensure you are up to date on your recommended vaccinations (e.g. Hepatitis B vaccination).

The common causes of liver cancer are alcohol abuse and viral liver infections (hepatitis B and C) which are transmitted through sexual contact and blood stream.

Regular medical screening is helpful in the early detection and treatment of cancers.
