Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has multiple molecular classes that are associated with distinct etiologies and, besides particular molecular characteristics, that also differ in clinical aspects. We aim to characterize the clinical aspects of alcoholic liver disease-related HCC by a retrospective observational study that included all consequent patients diagnosed with MRI or histologically verified HCC in participating centers from 2010 to 2016. A total of 429 patients were included in the analysis, of which 412 patients (96%) had cirrhosis at the time of diagnosis.

- The study investigated overall and progression-free survival in hepatocellular cancer (HCC) patients aged over 75 compared to those younger than 75, finding no significant differences in survival rates between the two age groups.
- The analysis included 148 patients with similar baseline characteristics and indicated that both groups had comparable one, two, and three-year survival rates.
- Factors such as inflammation markers were identified as predictors of survival specifically in geriatric patients, suggesting they may help assess prognosis in this age group.

Objective: To compare NAFLD-related HCC and other etiology-related HCC and to describe predictive factors for survival in patients with NAFLD-related HCC independent of the BCLC staging system.
Methods: We performed a multicenter longitudinal retrospective observational study of patients diagnosed with HCC during the period from 2010 through 2016.
Results: 12.
