Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Van Canh – Vice President of International University – delivered the opening speech on the morning of July 28, 2022.<\/em><\/p>\n

Liver cancer caused by viral hepatitis B (HBV), viral hepatitis C (HCV), and viral hepatitis D (HDV) have become the challenging and urgent issues in Vietnam. Since 2018, liver cancer has surpassed lung cancer and become the most common cause of cancer death in Vietnam. More than 25,000 cases of liver cancer are reported each year in southern Vietnam \u00a0, making Vietnam the fourth highest country in the world contracting liver cancer with age-adjusted incidence rates being 23.2 cases per 100,000 persons. Meanwhile, the ratio in the United States is 6.7\/100,000. It is predicted that liver cancer associated with viral hepatitis will continue to increase over the next two decades unless an effective national intervention program takes place.<\/p>\n
