by Liver tests are offered in supermarkets and football games and in offices as part of the efforts to develop cancer early.
The NHS program offers scans on site to check for cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis that increase the risk of liver cancer.
When liver damage is determined, people are transferred for further tests to grasp cancer earlier and to ensure faster treatment.
Liver cancer is the fastest rising cause of cancer -related deaths in Great Britain.
The NHS Community Liver Health Check program is made available by a fleet of trucks that bring scan teams to all parts of England.
Health officers said there were 20 teams that offer scans across the country compared to 11 when the pilot program started for the first time.
Almost 113,000 people had a fibroscan of their liver and since the beginning of the program almost 8,500 have been transferred to important cancer tests.
Trucks that offer the scans
The program is aimed at endangered groups in the municipality, including people with high alcohol consumption, a current diagnosis or the history of past viral hepatitis or non-alcoholic liver disease, with trucks also sending GP practices, food banks and homeless accommodation.
Prof. Peter Johnson, the NHS National Cancer Director, said: “By turning to the communities and facilitating people to be checked, we will develop further types of cancer in an early stage if the chances of successful treatment are much higher and can save lives.
“In this program, thousands of other people were mentioned for important further tests, so that in addition to the support you need from the NHS to lead a healthier life, you can enable important treatment.
“It is a great example of the fact that healthcare increases its focus on prevention, as defined in the 10-year health plan.”
Pamela Healy, the managing director of the British Liver Trust, said: “We are pleased to have worked closely with NHS England in this program, which has successfully helped thousands of people to achieve the care and support they need to protect the liver and reduce their risk of liver cancer.
“Liver cancer often develops quietly, and many people are only diagnosed at a stage in which the treatment options are limited. We know that the greatest risk factor already exists, which is why the previous detection of previous liver diseases is so important.
