Summary:The development of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） is attributed to several factors, including chronic viral infection, alcohol consumption, exposure to aflatoxin 131 and metabolic disorders.

There may be an association between CD and hepatocarcinogenesis, however, the precise mechanism for this requires further investigations.
