Risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma: an umbrella review of systematic review and meta-analysis by Jie Wang, Kaijie Qiu, Songsheng Zhou, Yichao Gan, Keting Jiang, Donghuan Wang, Haibiao Wang

“…Medications like metformin, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), aspirin, statins, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors reduce HCC risk, while acid suppressive agents, particularly proton pump inhibitors, elevate it. Blood type O reduces the risk of HCC, while male gender and older age increase the risk.Conclusions HBV and HCV are major HCC risk factors, with risk mitigation through antiviral treatments. …”
