a transplant, even after excluding patients who are still actively drinking 13 . In this study, HCC was not
significantly associated with adherence to guidelines. The potential prejudice of the general public and
of some medical professionals towards these patients probably induces a generally worse prognosis for
alcohol-related HCC compared to virally-related HCC.
