Hepatitis is a major risk factor for liver cancer, yet prevention, early detection, and integrated care remain underused across Europe and beyond. Misconceptions, fear, and stigma limit access to testing, treatment, and support – ultimately impacting health outcomes.

This 60-minute online masterclass, organised jointly by the European Cancer Organisation and the World Hepatitis Alliance, will explore the scientific and policy links between hepatitis and cancer, share best practices for addressing stigma and discrimination, and highlight opportunities for more integrated, stigma-free care. Featuring leading experts, advocates, and those who’ve actually experienced the virus, this event is the first in a four-part series from ECO addressing key issues at the intersection of cancer and hepatitis

More information on the programme and the speakers will be added soon.
