    Who can say? Cancer is very inexplicable – it depends on the individual, his or her habits, environment, age, predisposition, etc. and so forth.

    MUCH WOULD DEPEND ON EACH PERSON’S OVERALL HEALTH, MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY

    Very simplying clarified…
    Hepatitis of any diversity means “liver inflamation” …this can be caused by bacteria, virus, and/or chemicals. The liver has blood running through it functions… to detoxify blood. If a recurring inflamation occurs (from whatever etiology)…this can lead to cancer. There are so many variables that the “time span” for that to occur… is highly variable. Also, if a name gets cancer in a site other than the liver… they often get a secondary spread in the liver (metastasis).

    If a name gets recurring hepatitis of any kind…they have to exercise optimal liver health. They have to live a very clean lifestyle. No drug use (even over the counter medications) and absolutely no alcohol. There are some newer treatments and prevenitive measures for hepatitis. A gastroenterologist or infectious disease specialist are your best source of insight to addressing these issues.

    Sorry I couldn’t give you more exact information…each situation is unique (case by case evaluation). Some people by no means develop it…but it is all different.
