Liver Cancer in Vietnam?
I'm Shiloh, an 8th grader who's doing a research project about a country from Southeast Asia, and I chose Vietnam. We needed to study a public health issue there, and mine is liver cancer. I made questions to ask for people related in this field and has seen the impact in Vietnam or globally. To anyone is interested in answering, I would be glad!
- What should the government and society improve in order to prevent liver cancer before the disease develops?
- Where are the areas in Vietnam with the highest rate of liver cancer?
- Which groups of people are most vulnerable to developing liver cancer?
- When did liver cancer start becoming a major public health issue in Vietnam?
- What factors contribute to the high prevalence of liver cancer in these areas and among these populations?
- How is the Vietnamese government preparing to address and prevent this issue in the future?
- Why do hepatitis B and C remain major risk factors for liver cancer in Vietnam, even though hepatitis B can be prevented through vaccination?
- To what extent do social and environmental conditions affect people's risk of developing liver cancer?
