Abstract

Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor. Although the overall incidence and mortality rates of liver cancer has been decreasing in recent years, the incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)-associated liver cancer tends to increase. The health and social issues brought by NAFLD-associated liver cancer have attracted more and more attention, and its epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis and treatment await further research. This article summarizes the current epidemiology and pathogenesis of NAFLD-associated liver cancer.

肝癌作为常见的恶性肿瘤,虽然其总的发病率及病死率近年来有所下降,但非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)相关肝癌的发病呈上升趋势。NAFLD相关肝癌所带来的健康以及社会问题已引起了广泛关注,其流行病学研究、发病机制、诊断治疗等问题值得深入研究。现对NAFLD相关肝癌的流行病学现状以及发病机制进行介绍。.
