🚨 Do cardiovascular or metabolic comorbidities impact STRIDE outcomes in uHCC? Post-hoc analysis of HIMALAYA in Liver Cancer! @ResearchKarger @LorenzaRimassa @StephenLChan1 👉 87% of patients had cardiovascular or metabolic comorbidities
👉 48-month OS with STRIDE: 28.0% (with cardiovascular) vs 21.7% (without)
👉 Long-term survival (≥36 mo): 28.2% (cardiovascular) and 22.6% (metabolic)
👉 No new safety signals — comorbidities should not preclude STRIDE! Full text: doi.org/10.1159/lic/admag001 @myESMO @EASLnews

🏛️ A historic moment for liver health. Yesterday at the 79th World Health Assembly, Member States adopted the resolution "Steatotic liver disease: a missing piece in the global noncommunicable disease response" — the first time liver disease has ever been formally recognised within the global NCD agenda. This is not a symbolic gesture. It is a mandate. For too long, steatotic liver disease — affecting an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide — has been absent from national health plans, NCD financing frameworks, and government accountability mechanisms. That changes now. With this resolution, WHO Member States are called upon to: ✅ Integrate liver health into national NCD strategies ✅ Include liver health indicators in NCD monitoring frameworks ✅ Align health financing with integrated, prevention-centred care As Professor Debbie Shawcross, EASL Secretary General, said at our WHA79 side event yesterday: "The NCD community has fought for decades to put prevention at the centre of health systems. Liver disease has been a missing piece. With this resolution, we have a mandate. Now we need governments to make it count." The evidence is overwhelming. The EASL–Lancet Commission 2.0 estimates 780 preventable deaths per day and €55 billion in annual economic costs from liver disease in Europe alone. The vote has been cast. Now the real work begins — and EASL will be there every step of the way. 👉 Read our full press release: easl.eu/news/wha-side-event/ @DebbieShawcros1
