Gene mutations may provide clues for liver cancer survival
Recent research has found that mutations in the human EZH2 and CCND1 genes may be potential novel biomarkers for liver cancer. The tumour mutation burden (TMB) also appears to be an important prognostic factor and affects patient survival.

Collagen proportionate area predicts long-term, but not short-term mortality in alcoholic hepatitis
Collagen proportionate area (CPA) is a good predictor of long-term mortality in alcoholic hepatitis (AH) patients regardless of their abstinence from alcohol, a recent study has found. However, CPA seems to have no clear interaction with short-term mortality.
