Master the diagnosis and symptomatology of the different types of viral hepatitis and delve into the pathology of liver cancer with the expert teachers of this postgraduate diploma”

Viral hepatitis is considered one of the world's major public health problems. It is a liver infection that can be caused by 6 different viruses (A, B, C, D, E and G). The causative agents differ in biological, immunological, pathological and epidemiological characteristics. It is believed that about 70 million people in the world are infected with HCV. In Spain alone, for example, 1% of the population (475,000 people) have hepatitis C, being the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease and indication for liver transplantation.

On the other hand, liver cancer is a cancer that begins in the liver cells and can be of several types, the most common being hepatocellular carcinoma, which begins in the main type of liver cell (hepatocyte). Other less common types of liver cancer are intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or hepatoblastoma. In this regard, cancer that spreads to the liver is more common than cancer that begins in liver cells. One that starts in another area of the body, such as the colon, lung or breast, and then spreads to the liver, is called metastatic cancer rather than liver cancer.
