Increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and mortality in chronic viral hepatitis with concurrent fatty liver

Mi Na Kim et al.

Summary: This study found that patients with chronic viral hepatitis and concurrent fatty liver have a higher risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma and mortality, highlighting the importance of managing fatty liver in reducing these risks for patients.

Global change in hepatitis C virus prevalence and cascade of care between 2015 and 2020: a modelling study

Sarah Blach et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 2020 and forecast the burden by 2030. Using literature review, Delphi process, and mathematical modelling, it estimated the global prevalence of viraemic HCV infection to be 0.7% in 2020, corresponding to 56.8 million infections. The findings suggest that the current efforts are not on track to achieve the global elimination targets by 2030.

Impact of PNPLA3 p.I148M and Hepatic Steatosis on Long-Term Outcomes for Hepatocellular Carcinoma and HBsAg Seroclearance in Chronic Hepatitis B

Rei-Chi Hsueh et al.

Summary: This study found that hepatic steatosis and the PNPLA3-148M variant have distinct impacts on the development of HBV-related liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The PNPLA3-148M variant can help identify HBV carriers with a high risk of fatty liver disease progressing to HCC.

Epidemiology of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Katherine A. McGlynn et al.

Summary: Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a major global health concern. While HBV and HCV remain important risk factors for HCC, efforts in vaccination and treatment are showing promise. However, the increasing prevalence of metabolic risk factors like obesity and diabetes, as well as other factors like excessive alcohol consumption, present ongoing challenges in the prevention of liver cancer.

Association Between Fatty Liver and Cirrhosis, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, and Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Seroclearance in Chronic Hepatitis B

Jie Li et al.

Summary: This study found that concurrent FL in patients with CHB significantly reduces the risk of cirrhosis and HCC, as well as increases the rate of HBsAg seroclearance. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and investigate the underlying mechanisms of FL on CHB.

Risk factors for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Cori Campbell et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer mortality globally, particularly in individuals with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Research shows that diabetes mellitus (DM) is significantly associated with an increased risk of HCC, emphasizing the need for enhanced screening of HBV and diabetic patients.

ALT Flare Predicts Hepatocellular Carcinoma Among Antiviral Treated Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B: A Cross-Country Cohort Study

Yanan Du et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between ALT level and HCC occurrence in NA-treated CHB patients. The results showed a positive correlation between ALT level and HCC, with higher risks observed in patients with ALT flare. Elevation of ALT, especially ALT flare, is a strong predictor for HCC occurrence and requires close monitoring for early detection.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Reduced hepatic steatosis is associated with higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic hepatitis B infection

Lung-Yi Mak et al.

Summary: The study revealed an association between hepatic steatosis and the development of HCC in CHB patients, demonstrating that reduced hepatic steatosis is significantly associated with a higher risk of incident HCC. Routine measurements of CAP and LS are important for risk stratification.
