Background/Aims The association between aspirin use and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remains unclear. This study evaluated the effect of aspirin on HCC development in MASLD patients using Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) and UK Biobank (UKB) databases.
Methods A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the NHIS database with a 3-year landmark design. Baseline characteristics were balanced using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and 1:3 propensity score matching (PSM). Additionally, Mendelian randomization analysis was performed in the UKB cohort using a genomic risk score (GRS) for salicylic acid, based on genetic variants related to aspirin metabolism, as a proxy for aspirin use.
Results In the NHIS cohort, 6,584,155 eligible patients were included, of whom 1,723,435 had MASLD. After PSM, aspirin use was associated with a significantly lower risk of HCC compared to no aspirin use, in both the overall population (adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio [ASHR]=0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78–0.95; P=0.002) and MASLD group (ASHR=0.86; 95% CI 0.75–0.99; P=0.036). Similar results were reproduced in the IPTW population and several sensitivity and subgroup analyses. In the UKB cohort, individuals in the top 95% of GRS had a significantly lower risk of HCC compared to those in the bottom 5%, in both the overall population (ASHR=0.61; 95% CI 0.39–0.95; P=0.028) and MASLD group (ASHR=0.47; 95% CI 0.29–0.76; P=0.002).
Conclusions Findings from both population-based and genetic analyses suggest a possible protective association between aspirin use and HCC in patients with MASLD, which warrants further validation.

Background/Aims Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently recurs after curative treatment, posing challenges to long-term survival. Although contrast-enhanced multiphasic computed tomography (CECT) is commonly used for detecting recurrence, it is associated with risks such as radiation exposure and contrast agent reactions. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (NC-MRI) with CECT for detecting recurrent HCC.
Methods In this prospective multicenter intra-individual head-to-head comparison trial (study identifier: NCT05690451, KCT0006395), participants who had undergone curative treatment for HCC and remained recurrence-free for over two years were enrolled. Each participant underwent three follow-up imaging sessions at 2–6-month intervals using both CECT and NC-MRI. The primary outcome was the detection accuracy of each modality, analyzed using the generalized estimating equation analysis. Secondary outcomes included sensitivity and specificity.
Results The study included 203 participants with a total of 528 paired imaging sessions, identifying recurrent HCC in 22 cases (10.8%). Among these, 21 cases involved intrahepatic recurrence with a median tumor size of 1.3 cm, and one case had aortocaval lymph node metastasis. NC-MRI achieved a detection accuracy of 96.6% (196/203), higher than CECT’s 91.6% (186/203) (P=0.006). NC-MRI also showed greater sensitivity (77.3% [17/22] vs. 36.4% [8/22]; P=0.012), while specificity was comparable between NC-MRI and CECT (98.9% [179/181] vs. 98.3% [178/181]; P=0.999).
Conclusions NC-MRI demonstrated higher sensitivity and accuracy compared to CECT in detecting recurrent HCC in patients who had been disease-free for over two years following curative treatment, indicating its potential as a preferred imaging modality for this purpose.

Background/Aims Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is related to an increased risk of extrahepatic malignancy (EHM), and antiviral treatment is associated with an incidence of EHM comparable to controls. We compared the risks of EHM and intrahepatic malignancy (IHM) between entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment.
Methods Using data from the National Health Insurance Service of Korea, this nationwide cohort study included treatment-naïve CHB patients who initiated ETV (n=24,287) or TDF (n=29,199) therapy between 2012 and 2014. The primary outcome was the development of any primary EHM. Secondary outcomes included overall IHM development. E-value was calculated to assess the robustness of results to unmeasured confounders.
Results The median follow-up duration was 5.9 years, and all baseline characteristics were well balanced after propensity score matching. EHM incidence rate differed significantly between within versus beyond 3 years in both groups (P<0.01, Davies test). During the first 3 years, EHM risk was comparable in the propensity score-matched cohort (5.88 versus 5.84/1,000 person-years; subdistribution hazard ratio [SHR]=1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.88–1.17, P=0.84). After year 3, however, TDF was associated with a significantly lower EHM incidence compared to ETV (4.92 versus 6.91/1,000 person-years; SHR=0.70, 95% CI=0.60–0.81, P<0.01; E-value for SHR=2.21). Regarding IHM, the superiority of TDF over ETV was maintained both within (17.58 versus 20.19/1,000 person-years; SHR=0.88, 95% CI=0.81–0.95, P<0.01) and after year 3 (11.45 versus 16.20/1,000 person-years; SHR=0.68, 95% CI=0.62–0.75, P<0.01; E-value for SHR=2.30).
Conclusions TDF was associated with approximately 30% lower risks of both EHM and IHM than ETV in CHB patients after 3 years of antiviral therapy.

Background/Aims Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a risk factor for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Our recent study suggested that antiviral treatment may reduce the incidence of NHL in CHB patients. This study compared the prognoses of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients receiving antiviral treatment and HBV-unassociated DLBCL patients.
Methods This study comprised 928 DLBCL patients who were treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) at two referral centers in Korea. All patients with CHB received antiviral treatment. Time-to-progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) were the primary and secondary endpoints, respectively.
Results Among the 928 patients in this study, 82 were hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive (the CHB group) and 846 were HBsAg-negative (the non-CHB group). The median follow-up time was 50.5 months (interquartile range [IQR]=25.6–69.7 months). Multivariable analyses showed longer TTP in the CHB group than the non-CHB group both before inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]=0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.29–0.82, p=0.007) and after IPTW (aHR=0.42, 95% CI=0.26–0.70, p<0.001). The CHB group also had a longer OS than the non-CHB group both before IPTW (HR=0.55, 95% CI=0.33–0.92, log-rank p=0.02) and after IPTW (HR=0.53, 95% CI=0.32–0.99, log-rank p=0.02). Although liver-related deaths did not occur in the non-CHB group, two deaths occurred in the CHB group due to hepatocellular carcinoma and acute liver failure, respectively.
Conclusions Our findings indicate that HBV-associated DLBCL patients receiving antiviral treatment have significantly longer TTP and OS after R-CHOP treatment than HBV-unassociated DLBCL patients.

Background/Aims Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have a poor prognosis due to the lack of effective systemic therapies. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a pivotal event in tumor progression, during which cancer cells acquire invasive properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, including LY294002 and idelalisib, on the EMT features of HCC cells in vitro.
Methods Human HCC cell lines, including Huh-BAT and HepG2, were used in this study. Cell proliferation was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide, and cell cycle distributions were evaluated using a flow cytometer by propidium iodide staining. Immunofluorescence staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and immunoblotting were performed to detect EMT-associated changes.
Results PI3K inhibitors suppressed the proliferation and invasion of HCC cells and deregulated the expression of EMT markers, as indicated by increased expression of E-cadherin, an epithelial marker, and decreased expression of N-cadherin, a mesenchymal marker, and Snail, a transcription factor implicated in EMT regulation. Furthermore, LY294002 and idelalisib inhibited the phosphorylation of GSK-3β and induced the nuclear translocation of GSK-3β, which corresponded to the downregulation of Snail and β-catenin expressions in Huh-BAT and HepG2 cells.
Conclusions The inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling decreases Snail expression by enhancing the nuclear translocation of GSK-3β, which suppresses EMT in HCC cells, suggesting the potential clinical application of PI3K inhibitors for HCC treatment.

Background/Aims Several treatment options are currently available for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) failing previous sorafenib treatment. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of regorafenib and nivolumab in these patients.
Methods Consecutive HCC patients who received regorafenib or nivolumab after failure of sorafenib treatment were included. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) and secondary endpoints were time to progression, tumor response rate, and adverse events. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using the propensity score was conducted to reduce treatment selection bias.
Results Among 150 study patients, 102 patients received regorafenib and 48 patients received nivolumab. Median OS was 6.9 (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.0–10.8) months for regorafenib and 5.9 (95% CI, 3.7–8.1) months for nivolumab (P=0.77 by log-rank test). In multivariable analysis, nivolumab was associated with prolonged OS (vs. regorafenib: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.54; 95% CI, 0.30–0.96; P=0.04). Time to progression was not significantly different between groups (nivolumab vs. regorafenib: aHR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.51–1.30; P=0.48). HRs were maintained after IPTW. Objective response rates were 5.9% and 16.7% in patients treated with regorafenib and nivolumab, respectively (P=0.04).
Conclusions After sorafenib failure, the use of nivolumab may be associated with improved OS and better objective response rate as compared to using regorafenib.

Background/Aims Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming a worldwide epidemic, and is frequently found in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We investigated the impact of histologically proven hepatic steatosis on the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in CHB patients without excessive alcohol intake.
Methods Consecutive CHB patients who underwent liver biopsy from January 2007 to December 2015 were included. The association between hepatic steatosis (≥ 5%) and subsequent HCC risk was analyzed. Inverse probability weighting (IPW) using the propensity score was applied to adjust for differences in patient characteristics, including metabolic factors.
Results Fatty liver was histologically proven in 70 patients (21.8%) among a total of 321 patients. During the median (interquartile range) follow-up of 5.3 (2.9–8.3) years, 17 of 321 patients (5.3%) developed HCC: 8 of 70 patients (11.4%) with fatty liver and 9 of 251 patients (3.6%) without fatty liver. The five-year cumulative incidences of HCC among patients without and with fatty liver were 1.9% and 8.2%, respectively (P=0.004). Coexisting fatty liver was associated with a higher risk for HCC (adjusted hazards ratio [HR], 3.005; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.122–8.051; P=0.03). After balancing with IPW, HCC incidences were not significantly different between the groups (P=0.19), and the association between fatty liver and HCC was not significant (adjusted HR, 1.709; 95% CI, 0.404–7.228; P=0.47).
Conclusions Superimposed NAFLD was associated with a higher HCC risk in CHB patients. However, the association between steatosis per se and HCC risk was not evident after adjustment for metabolic factors.
