The burden of liver cancer in Europe has escalated significantly from 1990 to 2021, with age-standardized incidence rising from 3.04 to 4.20 per 100,000. Males experienced disproportionately higher rates, particularly in older populations. Key risk factors include hepatitis C, alcohol consumption, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, with Andorra recording the highest rates and Ukraine the lowest. The findings underline urgent needs for improved prevention, early detection, and equitable healthcare access as lifestyle, obesity, and demographic changes drive trends.
