🩺 Liver cancer cases could double by 2050

A new @thelancet.com Commission warns of 1.5M annual liver cancer cases by 2050 but says 60% are preventable through better HBV vaccination & alcohol reduction.

Prevention is possible. Action is urgent.

Reversing the rise of liver cancer
Imagine a future where the global incident cases of liver cancer almost doubles, rising from 870 000 cases in 2022 to over 1·5 million in 2050. This scenario, and all the attendant harms to health and...

Selection for somatic escape variants in SERPINA1 in the liver of patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency - Nature Genetics
The expansion of clones with distinct SERPINA1 somatic mutants in the livers of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AT) patients is consistent with convergent evolution. These variants interfere with th...
