Job overview
|
This is a new role to support the delivery of a robust surveillance pathway for Hepatocellular Cancer for local East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust patients. Primary liver cancer is the eighth most common cause of cancer death in the UK and accounts for 3% of cancer related mortality (CRUK). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer and presents in patients with cirrhosis. The dominant risk factors include cirrhosis caused by alcohol or viral hepatitis, and metabolic or fatty liver disease. There is a strong link with deprivation including homelessness, drug addiction, and obesity. Whilst HCC incidence is increasing in the UK (Burton JHEP reports 2021) survival remains poor with less than 15% 5-year survival.
