Changing global epidemiology of liver cancer from 2010 to 2019: NASH is the fastest growing cause of liver cancer

Daniel Q. Huang et al.

Summary: Liver cancer epidemiology is changing due to factors such as increasing alcohol consumption, rising obesity rates, and advancements in hepatitis B and C treatment. The Global Burden of Disease study estimated global and regional trends in liver cancer burden, revealing a 25% increase in liver cancer deaths between 2010 and 2019. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and alcohol were found to have the fastest growing death rates, while hepatitis B and C showed declines. Urgent measures are needed globally to address metabolic risk factors and slow the growing burden of NASH-associated liver cancer, particularly in the Americas.

Efficacy of lenvatinib for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma based on background liver disease etiology: multi-center retrospective study

Atsushi Hiraoka et al.

Summary: The study found that lenvatinib was more effective in improving progression-free survival in NAFLD/NASH-related u-HCC patients compared to viral/alcohol-related patients, with no significant difference in overall survival. Elevated ALT, modified ALBI grade 2b, elevated AFP, and NAFLD/NASH etiology were identified as significant prognostic factors for PFS.

The Real-World Data in Japanese Patients with Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Lenvatinib from a Nationwide Multicenter Study

Kaoru Tsuchiya et al.

Summary: The first-line systemic therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy, and lenvatinib has shown high response rates in real-world practice for unresectable HCC patients in Japan. Pretreatment factors like ALBI score, AFP levels, and major vascular invasion play crucial roles in treatment strategy decisions for these patients.
