Is liver cancer rare?

I was under the impression it was rare, but lately, I hear about liver issues so often. It's making me a bit anxious about my own health. Does anyone else feel like liver-related problems are becoming much more common these days?

I keep overthinking about every little pain in my side because I read it's not as rare as we think. But worry won't help us. If you are concerned, just getting a simple ultrasound during your annual checkup can give you complete peace of mind.

My colleague, who is a gastroenterologist, mentioned that liver cancer is actually among the top ten most common cancers in India. While not exceedingly common in healthy individuals, its incidence is quite high among those with pre-existing liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.

Globally, it's actually one of the most common types of cancer, though in India, it might seem less talked about compared to others. It is strongly linked to chronic Hepatitis B and C infections, which are also quite common here.
