  • The incidence rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease-related hepatocellular carcinoma (NAFLD-HCC) tends to increase worldwide, while its pathogenesis remains unclear. With reference to the literature in recent years, this article summarizes the role of adipose tissue inflammation, oxidative stress, gut microbiota, and insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of NAFLD-HCC and the advances in the prevention and treatment of the above mechanisms, so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of NAFLD-HCC.
