May 2010 marks the 15th anniversary of Hepatitis Awareness Month in the United States, and May 19 is World Hepatitis Day. Globally, viral hepatitis is the cause of most (78%) primary liver cancer, the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the world (1). Prevention of hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus transmission and treatment for early disease can prevent primary liver cancer (2). This issue of MMWR includes a report describing vaccination of at-risk adults with hepatitis B vaccine in California and a report on continued increases in hepatocellular carcinoma incidence in the United States.
