What is it about?
We examined the changes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over the past 30 years and confirmed that the background has changed significantly. In the background, the proportion of HCCs with viral liver disease decreased, and liver function also improved.

Why is it important?
Currently, Albumin Bilirubin (ALBI) grade is superior to Child-Pugh Classification in assessing liver function in the background of HCC
Perspectives
I think we have been able to clarify the history of HCC in Japan over the past 30 years.
