Blue Faery Continues Its Love Your Liver Campaign During Black History Month
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Black/African Americans are 50% more likely to get liver cancer than the general population, and incidence rates are climbing. The Love Your Liver campaign provides community members with convenient opportunities to learn more about their unique liver cancer risks and how to actively manage them. Type 2 diabetes and hepatitis C can both lead to liver cancer, so those in the Black/African American community who currently have or previously had one or both of those diseases are at higher risk for liver cancer. Both type 2 diabetes and hepatitis C are preventable and treatable, so education and early detection are vital to improving survival rates.
- Blue Faery is pleased to announce that its annual liver disease and cancer awareness campaign will continue in 2024 during Black History Month.
- The Love Your Liver campaign provides community members with convenient opportunities to learn more about their unique liver cancer risks and how to actively manage them.
