BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that obesity and fat- ty liver may be associated with the morbidity and mortality of liver cancer, and the early diagnosis and effective treat- ment of fatty liver coupled with liver cancer are supposed to improve the prognosis of obese patients. This review ...
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide [1]. Its initiation and progression are complex and influenced by various factors that are still under investigation. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most prevalen...
” notes Professor Vogel. Due to poor nutrition and lack of exercise, the number of extremely overweight people who develop a fatty liver is increasing. It is true that the risk for individuals to develop cancer later on is relatively low. But the widespread ...
“Liver cancer that develops from metabolic fatty liver disease has unique clinical features,” Professor Lee said. “Unlike other liver cancers, it often occurs without cirrhosis and is often accompanied by lifestyle diseases. Particularly noteworthy is the low rate of early diagnosis and poor prog...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was first described as a distinct clinical entity four decades ago. However, the condition has become the centre of attention within hepatology owing to its high prevalence and growing contribution to the burden of end-stage liver disease in the general pop...
(defined as a BMI > 25 kg/m2or > 23 kg/m2for Asian populations). This so-called “lean MAFLD” (previously known as lean NAFLD or lean MASLD) patient group pose a complex clinical situation in terms of pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and economic ...
Fatty liver is the accumulation of triglycerides and other fats in the liver cells. The amount of fatty acid in the liver depends on the balance between the processes of delivery and removal.
However, the presence of NAFLD had no influence on the prognosis of colorectal cancer and, in particular, on the disease recurrence during follow-up [16]. Among NAFLD patients, those with histological diagnosis of NASH harbinger the most increased risk for CRC. In a cross-sectional study ...
data accumulates. The acronyms AFLD andNAFLD– where “D” stands for disease – have recently been proposed as a replacement for the AFL and NAFL ones.3,4However, it is controversial whether fatty liver should be considered a “disease” owing to its generally benign prognosis.5This is why...
tamoxifen for breast cancer, and hormone therapy in prostate cancer, and (3) NAFLD seems to poorly impact prognosis and increase mortality in people with cancer; finally, (4) individuals with higher BMI and other metabolic risk factors (irrespective of cancer diagnosis) appear to be at increased...
