Association of HAMP Expression and CD8+ T‐Cell Infiltration With Atezolizumab–Bevacizumab Response in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In hepatocellular carcinoma treated with atezolizumab–bevacizumab, responders showed RNA‐seq enrichment of immune and chemokine pathways with higher HAMP expression. In resected specimens, immunohistochemistry confirmed increased intratumoral CD8+ T‐cell density and hepcidin (HAMP), supporting HAMP plus CD8 as components of a composite predictor of ...

Multifactor Risk Stratification for Post‐Transplant Alcohol Relapse Using Abstinence, Psychosocial, and Socioeconomic Factors

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Alcohol relapse after liver transplantation is difficult to predict using abstinence duration alone. We developed a multifactor model integrating abstinence duration, psychosocial risk (SIPAT), and socioeconomic context (AUC 0.70). This approach may support individualized risk assessment and tailored follow‐up intensity; external validation is needed ...
