Liver Health in Focus: Hepatitis to Liver Cancer Through the Voice of Patients

Hepatitis Masterclasses Visuals Masterclass 2 Landscape 1

29 October 2025 15:00 - 16:00 CET

Online

For too many people in Europe and beyond, hepatitis and liver cancer remain silent threats, often undetected until it’s too late. This masterclass wants to break that silence by bridging the gap between medical expertise and the lived experience of patients and caregivers.

The 60-minute online session was held in cooperation with ELPA (the European Liver Patients’ Association). Together, we explored:

  • How common infections affect liver health, often invisibly and over years
  • The link between chronic hepatitis and liver cancer, its clinical aspects and  personal challenges for patients
  • The importance of prevention, vaccination, and early diagnosis, with a focus on ease of access and general awareness

Speakers:

  • Massimo Levrero, Professor of Medicine, University Claude Bernard Lyon 1
  • Ivana Dragojević, Vice-President and Treasurer, European Liver Patients’ Association (ELPA)

Moderator: Beatrice Credi, Head of Brussels Office, ELPA

This masterclass is part of an ongoing series from ECO and its community dedicated to: improving our understanding of hepatitis and its connection to cancer, encouraging early action, and amplifying the voices of patients and professionals alike.
