HCC in Patients with NAFLD/NASH
Prof Bugianesi, Italy, reviews a burning issue: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with NAFLD/ NASH. She reviews the epidemiology globally and impact on liver transplant. There are multiple risks factors for HCC in NASH patients such as obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and the metabolic syndrome in general. For clinicians, she presents the main studies, the profiles of the patients particularly at risk and risk stratifications strategies.
