Earlier ALT normalization during antiviral treatment tied to reduced HCC risk in CHB

12 Mar 2020

Earlier normalization of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who initiated treatment with entecavir or tenofovir correlates with a proportionally lower risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), regardless of fatty liver or cirrhosis at baseline and on-treatment virological response (VR), according to a recent study.

12 Mar 2020 by

Bleeding in the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract conferred a high risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients receiving oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF), a retrospective study has shown, underlining the potential of lower GI bleeding as a marker of CRC.
