Tumor seeding is a dreaded complication of biopsy for HCC. But how common is it? A systematic review in @amcollegegastro.bsky.social #AmJGastro reports a rate of tumor seeding of 0.62% with even lower rates in recent years #LiverSky Link: journals.lww.com/ajg/abstract...

When your patient develops hepatic encephalopathy, give them Lactulose. It improves quality of life. And quantity!!! But if the HE comes back rapidly, consider looking for and closing portosystemic shunts Just ask this cat

In the United States, HCC deaths may have plateaued and soon be on the decline due to successful HCV elimination However, persistent increases in MASLD and ALD-related HCC threaten these trends AASLD #TLM24 #Liversky

Great look into the future on HCC surveillance by George Ioannou at AASLD #TLM24 Seems likely that blood based biomarkers and aMRI will play some role but, despite its significant flaws, ultrasound has so far stood the test of time
