Our research group is part of the Medical Clinic I at the University Hospital Frankfurt under the direction of Prof. Dr. Zeuzem as a leading international expert in the field of hepatology and gastroenterology as well as associated oncological diseases. With extensive work already published on chronic hepatitis and improvement of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment and diagnosis, the group of Prof. Piiper now aims at better understanding the pathogenesis leading to the development of HCC on patients with fatty liver. Whereas benign liver steatosis is not associated with increased risk of HCC, it regularly progresses to its inflammatory and more severe form, known as MASH, which drives tumorigenesis.
