"Make sure you do not have molds on your food because it a major cause of liver cancer because of the potential presence of aflatoxin in the molds." - Dr Asare Offei [Consultant Hepatobiliary Surgeon, KBTH]

In this episode, we explore the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, the relationship with smoking and other risk factors, types of lung cancer, screening in high-risk groups, and advances in treatment with Dr. Asare Offei.

A new report from The Lancet reveals that three out of five liver cancer cases worldwide are linked to preventable risk factors, with obesity-related cases on the rise. The analysis, published on 29th July, estimates that over 60% of liver cancers could be avoided by addressing viral hepatitis, excessive alcohol consumption, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition driven by excess fat in the liver. The situation is particularly urgent in Africa, where liver cancer cases are projected to surge significantly by 2050. In Nairobi, Ahmed Kalebi is the Principal Pathologist at Dr Ahmed Kalebi Labs. “Am I worried about metabolic liver disease being a silent epidemic? I am not just worried, I know, because we see it on a daily basis. The number of cases that we pick silently when we come for health check-ups is shocking, and we actually need to do a lot more to increase awareness for people to come for screening and a change of lifestyle. If we don't, we will be paying a huge price in the next decade to two decades, and that is why 2050 is seen as the culmination of when there will be an explosion of this liver disease associated with cancer,” he says. Professor Hashem El-Serag believes cases of Hepatitis B and C are causing the increased liver cancer rates in Africa, and that screening and vaccination in the region are lagging behind the rest of the world. However, he stresses obesity—as the continent becomes increasingly ‘westernized'—is also a major factor. “Africa is also not immune to the obesity epidemic. With the progressive westernization of their lifestyle and their diets. So, they might be hit with multiple risk factors. A leftover from the old risk factors that really are not moving fast enough. And the emergence of the new risk factors that are happening as a result of globalization,” he says. Additional measures include public awareness campaigns, improved early detection, and better integration of palliative care for patients. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin reveals the alarming increase in obesity-associated cancers in the United States over the past two decades. Highlighting findings from a recent study presented at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting, Leyla underscores the significant rise in cancer deaths linked to obesity, particularly among women, older adults, Native Americans, and Black Americans. She also explores the complex causes of obesity, including genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors, and offers insights into effective weight management strategies. Additionally, Leyla examines the high rates of heart disease in various U.S. states, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle modifications and public health initiatives to combat cardiovascular diseases.

Story at-a-glance Most people with liver damage have no symptoms and receive a diagnosis only after irreversible scarring has occurred, making early detection and lifestyle changes essential Standard blood tests often miss early-stage liver fibrosis, even when enzyme levels are "normal," delaying diagnosis until complications like cirrhosis or liver cancer appear The real threat isn't liver fat, but fibrosis — scar tissue that silently builds up from insulin resistance, inflammation, toxic fats like vegetable oils and alcohol Choline is a key nutrient that helps your liver move fat out before it causes damage; pastured egg yolks are the best source, but many people don't get enough from food alone Removing vegetable oils and alcohol, eating choline-rich foods, trimming belly fat, and moving daily help reduce liver stress and reverse fibrosis before it's too late

BUFFALO, NY - May 23, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on May 19, 2025, titled “Immune-mediated adverse events following atezolizumab and bevacizumab in a multinational Latin American cohort of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma." The study, led by first authors Leonardo Gomes da Fonseca from Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, and Federico Piñero from Hospital Universitario Austral, Argentina, investigated how patients with advanced liver cancer in Latin America respond to a widely used immunotherapy combination. The researchers found that although a minority of patients developed immune-related side effects, these events did not significantly impact overall survival. Their findings highlight the importance of early recognition and careful management of such side effects in real-world clinical settings. Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with limited treatment options for patients diagnosed at an advanced stage. Immunotherapy, particularly the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab, has become a standard approach. However, these treatments can sometimes trigger the body's immune system to attack healthy organs, leading to what are called immune-related adverse events, or irAEs. Until now, little data existed on how frequently these events occur in Latin American patients and whether they impact treatment outcomes. The researchers followed 99 patients from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia, most of whom had cirrhosis or underlying liver disease. They received atezolizumab and bevacizumab for a median duration of six months. The researchers reported that only 18% of the patients experienced immune-related side effects, most commonly affecting the liver (hepatitis) and thyroid (thyroiditis). Most of these cases were mild or moderate, and half of them resolved completely within a month. Only eight patients needed treatment with steroids to control the immune response. Importantly, the occurrence of immune-related side effects did not affect how long patients survived after starting treatment. The median survival was the same—18.5 months—for both those who experienced irAEs and those who did not. This result suggests that while irAEs require careful management, they may not reduce the overall benefits of immunotherapy. Another significant finding was that patients with higher levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a protein often elevated in liver cancer, were more likely to experience these side effects. This information could help clinicians identify patients who need closer control during treatment. “Notably, baseline alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) values ≥400 ng/ml were significantly associated with the development of irAEs.” The study also points to key differences between clinical trial results and real-world experiences. While clinical trials report higher rates of side effects, this real-world data showed a lower incidence, possibly due to less intensive monitoring or differences in how side effects are documented in everyday practice. In summary, this study highlights that patients require ongoing vigilance and individualized care when treating liver cancer with immunotherapy. It provides valuable information to healthcare providers in Latin America and other regions with similar patient populations, aiming to improve outcomes while minimizing risks.

BUFFALO, NY - April 8, 2025 – A new #editorial was #published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on April 4, 2025, titled “Deep learning-based uncertainty quantification for quality assurance in hepatobiliary imaging-based techniques." Dr. Yashbir Singh from Mayo Clinic and his colleagues discussed how artificial intelligence (AI) can improve liver imaging by recognizing when it might be wrong. This approach, called “uncertainty quantification,” helps clinicians better detect liver cancer and other diseases by pointing out areas in medical scans that need a second look. The authors explain how these AI tools could make imaging results more accurate and reliable, which is especially important when diagnosing serious conditions like liver tumors. Liver and bile duct imaging is difficult because of the organ's complex structure and differences in image quality. Even skilled radiologists can struggle to identify small or hidden tumors, especially in patients with liver damage or scarring. The editorial explains how new AI models not only read medical images but also measure their own confidence. When the AI system is unsure, it can alert clinicians to take a closer look. This extra layer of information can reduce missed diagnoses and improve early detection of liver cancer. One of the most advanced tools described in the editorial is called AHUNet (Anisotropic Hybrid Network). This AI model works with both 2D and 3D images and can highlight which parts of a scan it is most confident about. It performed well when measuring the entire liver and showed how its confidence dropped when scanning smaller or multiple lesions. This feature helps clinicians know when more testing or review is needed. The authors also looked at other AI models used in liver imaging. Some tools were able to analyze liver fat using ultrasound images and give clinicians both a result and a confidence score. Others improved the speed and accuracy of liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, helping to create clear images in less time. These advancements could help hospitals work faster and provide better care. The editorial highlights how this technology can be especially helpful in smaller clinics. If they do not have liver specialists, they could still use AI systems that flag uncertain results and send them to larger centers for review. Such an approach could improve care in rural or less-resourced areas. “Radiology departments should develop standardized reporting templates that incorporate uncertainty metrics alongside traditional imaging findings.” By using AI tools that know when to second-guess themselves, clinicians may soon have more reliable methods for detecting liver cancer and monitoring liver disease. The authors suggest that uncertainty-aware AI may soon become a vital part of everyday medical imaging, supporting faster and more accurate decisions in liver disease care.

In 2021, Albertina Dancy began to experience abdominal pain, but that wasn't all.  She also had gastrointestinal issues, jaundice and other problems.  However, she didn't take them seriously and thought they could be successfully addressed with over-the-counter remedies.  When that didn't happen, she sought medical attention.   Albertina's doctor said the symptoms, combined with her existing fatty liver disease, merited a trip to an oncologist.  A series of scans and tests, plus the stiffness of her liver, led to a diagnosis of liver cancer.   The diagnosis left Albertina depressed, wondering if she would get well again.  She regrets not seeking medical attention at an earlier time because doctors said her only treatment option with a regimen of radiation treatment and chemotherapy.   The chemo was extremely tough on Albertina.  She was in constant pain, felt extreme fatigue and was demoralized about losing all her hair.   However, she achieved survivorship and says because she pays close attention to diet and exercise, her health is better than it was prior to her diagnosis.   By way of advice, Albertina Dancy strongly advises anyone suffering unusual health issues to immediately seek medical attention.   Additional Resources:   American Liver Foundation: https://www.liverfoundation,org

On so many issues, Congress has not been willing or able to act. But when faced with horrifying stories of death and mismanagement, Congress finally passed legislation to reform the US organ transplant system. They did so because people like Donna Cryer, a transplant recipient and patient advocate, demanded a better system for Americans who need lifesaving organ transplants. Now, as the new law moves into implementation, the work continues. In this episode, Donna and I discuss:The new legislation that is breaking up the deadly organ transplant monopolyHow ignoring the expertise and insights of patients dooms us to slow progress making healthcare safer and better Her advice for young people: “take your shot”Donna says we all need to start listening more closely to patients with lived experience:“I often think if you... had many people with great deals of experience and intelligence who were highly motivated to help you achieve your goal. Why would you not want to use them? Why would you not want to partner with them? Why would you work really, really hard to keep them away from solving the problem? And that's how people treat patients and patient advocates.”Relevant LinksDonna Cryer's testimony to the Senate Finance Committee on organ transplant system failures (just past the 48:00 mark)Summary of the new law to break up the organ transplantation monopolyMore about the Global Liver InstituteSee more details about the Advanced Advocacy Academy Donna's organization launchedVisit UNOS' websiteAbout Our GuestDonna R.

This episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor emphasizes the importance of building and maintaining a healthy microbiome for better health outcomes, disease prevention, and overall well-being. The microbiome, a complex population of microorganisms living in the gut, plays a significant role in protecting against cancer, regulating digestion, and supporting various metabolic and immune functions. A home-cooked diet, particularly a whole food omnivorous diet rich in fiber and fermented foods, helps to cultivate a resilient microbiome. Exercise, scant to moderate alcohol consumption (especially wine), and avoiding sugar, refined flours, and artificial sweeteners further enhance gut health. This episode also warns against overuse of antibiotics and reliance on probiotic supplements, advocating instead for a food-based approach through diet and lifestyle changes. Key Takeaways: Microbiome's Role in Health: The microbiome impacts everything from cancer prevention to appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity, immune function, and even brain health. Diet and Gut Health: A Mediterranean-style, omnivorous whole food, diet improves microbiome diversity and overall health, reducing risks for conditions like obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Fermented Foods: Incorporating fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and kombucha supports a healthy microbiome and reduces cancer risk. Exercise and Lifestyle: Regular exercise promotes gut health and boosts immunity, while avoiding sugar, artificial sweeteners, and unnecessary antibiotics helps maintain microbiome balance. Natural Approach: The podcast recommends focusing on diet and lifestyle over probiotic or prebiotic supplements to build a resilient microbiome.
