The presence of diabetes mellitus predisposes patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) to a higher risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), reveals a study presented at EASL 2025.

In a study presented at EASL 2025, the use of statins appears to be associated with a reduced risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and slower progression of liver fibrosis in individuals with chronic liver disease (CLD).

A network meta-analysis (NMA) reports that the combination regimen comprising atezolizumab and bevacizumab appears to be better than other first-line systemic therapeutic alternatives for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in terms of providing a balance between overall survival (OS) benefit and quality of life (QoL) preservation.

The ileal bile acid transporter inhibitor linerixibat provides rapid and substantial relief from cholestatic pruritus, in turn reducing associated sleep disturbances, in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), as shown in the global, phase III GLISTEN trial.
