#LiverCancer is especially deadly because it's usually detected at a late stage. Recent research from @NIH shows that examining viral exposure may help detect it earlier- and even predict those likely to develop the deadly disease: https://t.co/YadhPYaUWU

A blood test that measures people’s exposure to different viruses identified those who later developed liver cancer. The test could play an important role in improving outcomes for patients.

Rapid coronavirus testing allowed doctors to give Zach Branson the liver he needed. The pandemic has led many hospitals to postpone transplant operations.

Without a new liver, Zach Branson might have only a month left to live. Doctors just canceled his transplant surgery, citing concerns about the coronavirus.
