Strengthening the diagnosis and treatment of metabolic associated fatty liver disease in breast cancer patients / 中华内分泌外科杂志

Metabolic-dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common concomitant disease of breast cancer. It is one of the main causes of liver damage during chemotherapy and also an important cause of liver damage during endocrine therapy or follow-up, which seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis of breast cancer patients. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease was renamed as MAFLD, which changed the original "exclusive diagnosis" to "inclusive diagnosis" and the non-negligible role of metabolic factors in the occurrence and development of fatty liver disease was recognized, but the clinical attention is not enough at present. More attention should be paid to the diagnosis and treatment of MAFLD in breast cancer patients because the proportion and risk of metabolic disorders are higher than that in general people. In this article, we will focus on the clinical significance, prevention and treatment of the new definition of MAFLD in the comprehensive management of concomitant diseases of breast cancer, so as to further improve the quality of life and prognosis of breast cancer patients.

Breast cancer is considered as a chronic disease, hence breast cancer these patients require extensive and effective chronic disease management. With the development of the "Healthy China 2030" program and the "Comprehensive Management Guideline for Breast Cancer Follow-up and Concomitant Diseases, "more attention is being paid to the management of concomitant diseases of breast cancer (CDBC). This involves improving multidisciplinary treatment by collaborating with oncologists and related specialists to develop psycho-oncology, oncocardiology, and other oncology subdisciplines. Consultation-liaison psychiatry has been successfully used in the treatment of patients with cancer. Therefore, for the prevention and treatment of CDBC, it is important to establish and im-prove rehabilitation medicine and other units, such as cardiovascular, endocrinology, and gynecology units. This, in turn, could help im-prove the patient's quality of life and prognosis.
