Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer and its incidence is increasing including in regions where hepatitis infection rates are low. This trend may be the result of increases in 'unhealthy lifestyle' factors. The main aim of this study is to identify metabolic signatures associated with healthy lifestyle behaviours and to relate these signatures to risk of developing HCC to investigate whether the metabolites were of predictive utility for HCC beyond data procured from questionnaires. To address this question, we exploited data from a large European cohort (EPIC) which includes detailed questionnaire-based data as well as metabolomic data.

- measure
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma
- timeFrame
- Follow-up started at date of entry to the study and finished at date of diagnosis, death or last completed follow-up (from December 2004 up to June 2010). Cancer incidence was determined through population cancer registries or through active follow-up.
- description
- Incident HCC cases were defined as first primary invasive tumours and identified through the 10th Revision of International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Injury and Causes of Death (ICD10) as C22.0 with morphology codes ICD-O-2 "8170/3"and "8180/3"

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 30-70 * Healthy volunteers residing within defined geographical areas (where study centers are located). Different settings by centre; mostly general population with some exceptions: women of a health insurance company for teachers and school workers (France), women attending breast cancer screening (Utrecht-The Netherlands, and Florence-Italy), mainly blood donors (most centers in Italy and Spain) and a cohort consisting predominantly of vegetarians (the 'health-conscious' group in Oxford, UK)
