Risk factors and prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma in the era of precision medicine

TLDR
Individual HCC risk prediction is expected to overcome the challenge by enabling personalised chemoprevention, targeting high-risk patients for precision HCC prevention and substantially improving the dismal prognosis of HCC.

Hepatocellular carcinoma in the setting of alcohol-related liver disease.

TL;DR: Because of impaired surveillance and poor patient compliance, HCC is often detected late in patients with chronic liver disease of alcoholic aetiology, resulting in more advanced HCC that is less amenable to curative treatment.

A Radiomics Nomogram for Preoperative Prediction of Microvascular Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

TL;DR: A radiomics nomogram incorporating clinicoradiological risk factors and radiomic features derived from HBP images achieved satisfactory preoperative prediction of the individualized risk of MVI in patients with HCC.

HCV-Induced Epigenetic Changes Associated With Liver Cancer Risk Persist After Sustained Virologic Response.

TL;DR: Integrative pathway analyses of liver tissues from patients and mice with humanized livers demonstrated that HCV-induced epigenetic alterations were associated with liver cancer risk, and these alterations might be targeted to prevent liver cancer in patients treated for HCV infection.

TL;DR: A substantial portion of cancer cases and deaths could be prevented by broadly applying effective prevention measures, such as tobacco control, vaccination, and the use of early detection tests.

Global epidemiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—Meta‐analytic assessment of prevalence, incidence, and outcomes

TL;DR: As the global epidemic of obesity fuels metabolic conditions, the clinical and economic burden of NAFLD will become enormous, and random‐effects models were used to provide point estimates of prevalence, incidence, mortality and incidence rate ratios.

Risk of hepatocellular carcinoma across a biological gradient of serum hepatitis B virus DNA level.

TL;DR: Elevated serum HBV DNA level (> or =10,000 copies/mL) is a strong risk predictor of hepatocellular carcinoma independent of HBeAg, serum alanine aminotransferase level, and liver cirrhosis.
