DOI: 10.1016/j.jhep.2018.04.023
Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIMS Recently, Baveno VI guidelines suggested that esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) can be avoided in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) who have a liver stiffness measurement (LSM) 150,000/mm3. We aimed to: assess… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhep.2018.10.022
Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a frequent complication of liver disease. When feasible, hepatic resection is the first-choice therapy. However, tumor recurrence complicates at least 2/3 hepatic resections at 5 years. Early recurrences are… read more here.
