Key clinical point: The use of aspirin is independently associated with a reduced risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence, recurrence, and mortality, but an increased risk for bleeding.
Major finding: Aspirin use was associated with a reduced incidence of HCC (hazard ratio [HR] 0.75; 95% CI 0.71-0.80), recurrence of HCC (HR 0.79; 95% CI 0.65-0.96), and HCC-related mortality (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.44-0.94), but an increased risk for bleeding (HR 1.10; 95% CI 1.02-1.20).
Study details: This study meta-analyzed the data of 3,273,524 individuals from 30 studies on HCC incidence, HCC recurrence, or mortality.
Disclosures: This study did not report the source of funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
