Abstract A13: Tooth loss, liver cancer incidence, and chronic liver disease mortality in the ATBC study

Conclusions: In this study, greater number of teeth lost was associated with higher risk of primary liver cancer. Further investigations are warranted to clarify the role of periodontal infection in hepatocarcinogenesis and to determine the utility of tooth loss as a predictor of liver cancer development.Citation Format: Baiyu Yang, Jessica L.
