Serology, CT imaging and pathology are important in diagnosis of NAFLD-HCC. Improve living habits and strengthen exercise can prevent the occurrence of NAFLD-HCC. Drug and surgical treatment is still the most important means to treat NAFLD-HCC, while the effects of those treatments used in NAFLD-HCC have no significant difference compared with that used in other types of liver cancer.
