Abstract
The article discusses the rising incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a fatal type of liver cancer, which is closely associated with metabolic diseases like metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). While current treatments for HCC are limited in effectiveness, there is a growing need for strategies to prevent and combat NASH-induced HCC, as lifestyle interventions and weight reduction remain the primary preventive measures.
