How probable is Hepatitis B carrier getting liver cancer?


How probable is Hepatitis B carrier getting liver cancer later in his/her life? And is there any way to prevent this?

Here's the blood test results:

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen: Positive
Hepatitis B Surface Antibody: Negative
Hepatitis B e-antigen: Negative
Hepatitis B Core IGM Antibody: Negative
Hepatitis B e-antibody: Postive

All the Hepatic Function Panel test results (including AST, ALT, and AFP) are normal.

Thanks.

You're carrier.
Chance for Hep B infection become chronic liver infection is 5%.
15 - 20 % from 5% have chanceto become chirrhosis and hepatoma (liver cancer).

OK i AM HEPB POS BUT RECENTLY WAS NEGATIVE SO WHO KNOWS!

less than one percent.

Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is thought to be the leading cause of liver cancer. The disease is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks the liver. The virus is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids that contain blood. This can occur through direct blood-to-blood contact, unprotected sex, and illicit drug use.
It can also be passed from an infected woman to her new-born during the delivery process. Medical reports however says that about 50% of those who carry the virus never develop any symptoms. Hepatitis B virus can be prevented by the use of a safe and effective vaccine.

if a person drinks alcohol and smokes probably he will develop liver cancer
