Survival of patients with non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma treated with trans-arterial chemoembolization: A multicenter cohort study.

Background And Study Aims: Few studies have considered patients treated with trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for non-viral-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with some reporting that those patients may have larger tumors, emphasizing the need for determination of the factors affecting survival in such patients. This work aims to study the characteristics and survival of patients with non-viral related HCC treated with TACE.

Patients And Methods: This is a multicenter observational study.

Cordycepin alleviates metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease by restoring mitochondrial homeostasis and reducing oxidative stress via Parkin-mediated mitophagy.

The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) keeps rising with only a few drugs available. The present study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of cordycepin on MASLD. Male C57BL/6 mice were induced with a 90-day high-fat diet (HFD) and intraperitoneal administration with streptozotocin to establish MASLD murine model.

Personalized treatment approaches in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Personalized medicine is an emerging field that provides novel approaches to disease's early diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and prognosis based on the patient's criteria in gene expression, environmental factors, lifestyle, and diet. To date, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant global health burden, with an increasing incidence and significant death rates, despite advancements in surveillance, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches. The majority of HCC lesions develop in patients with liver cirrhosis, carrying the risks of mortality associated with both the tumor burden and the cirrhosis.
