Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and a low fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4), which is used to assess liver health.
- - Out of 613 participants diagnosed with MASLD-related HCC, 13% had a low FIB-4, with 26% among those without cirrhosis, indicating potential missed cases for further evaluation.
- - The findings suggest that current guidelines may fail to identify over a quarter of MASLD-related HCC patients without cirrhosis who present a low FIB-4, highlighting a need for updated clinical pathways.
