Suppressing, stimulating and/or inhibiting: the evolving management of HCC patient after liver transplantation.

Liver transplantation (LT) is a curative strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the risk of HCC recurrence remains a challenging problem. In patients with HCC recurrence after LT (HCC-R_LT), the locoregional and surgical approaches are complex, and the guidelines do not report evidence-based strategies for the management of immunosuppression. In recent years, immunotherapy has become an effective option for patients with advanced HCC in pre-transplant settings.

Glycaemic control metrics and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Aim: The aim was to examine the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and its association with glycaemic control metrics in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Materials And Methods: We enrolled 244 children and adolescents with T1D (115 girls, mean age: 16.2 ± 3.

Porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder in surgical candidates for liver metastases: Prevalence, noninvasive diagnosis, and burden on surgical outcomes.

Chemotherapy can cause vascular and metabolic liver injury in patients with liver metastases, but scarce data are available. We aimed to (i) describe the prevalence of porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) among patients undergoing resection for liver metastases; and (ii) assess whether liver (LSM) and spleen stiffness measurements could diagnose PSVD and predict postoperative complications. This is a prospective single-center study enrolling consecutive patients undergoing hepatic resection for metastases at a tertiary center.
