Researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed a nanoparticle-based targeted drug delivery system that selectively transports thyroid hormone (TH) to adipose tissue, which may improve treatment of obesity and its related cardiometabolic complications by overcoming serious adverse events (AEs) associated with systematic TH administration.

Treatment with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) followed by sorafenib results in better overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), with no increase in adverse events (AEs), compared with sorafenib monotherapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as shown in a phase III study presented at the 2023 ASCO GI Cancers Symposium.

Treatment with metformin results in a significant reduction in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence following successful antiviral therapy in individuals with diabetes mellitus and chronic hepatitis C (CHC), a recent study has shown.

Isolated hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) positivity appears to increase the risk of liver-related and liver cancer mortality, particularly when accompanied by a high fibrosis score, according to a study of Korean adults.

Treatment with the dual PPAR α/γ agonist saroglitazar helps improve the serum atherogenic lipoprotein profile in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), regardless of comorbid conditions and statin use, as shown in a study.

Objective response to first-line systemic therapy with lenvatinib or sorafenib independently predicts overall survival (OS) in individuals with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as shown by the subanalysis of the REFLECT study.
