  • Over a median follow-up of 12.6 years, 627 liver cancer cases were found, and the study used statistical models to confirm the robustness of its findings.
  • Doctors should be wary of prescribing paracetamol regularly and consider the potential risk of liver cancer in their patients when making decisions.
