Liu et al. collected detailed information on liver cancer aetiology between 1990 –2016, derived from the global burden of disease in 2016. In this issue of the Journal, they show that liver cancer remains a major public health concern globally, though control of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections has contributed to the decrease in liver cancer incidence in some regions. They report an unfavourable trend in countries with high socio-demographic index, including the Netherlands, the UK, and the USA.
