Tobacco, alcohol use and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: the Liver Cancer Pooling Project
Open accessAbstract
While tobacco and alcohol are established risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of primary liver cancer, it is unknown whether they also increase the risk of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Thus, we examined the association between tobacco and alcohol use by primary liver cancer type. The Liver Cancer Pooling Project is a consortium of 14 US-based prospective cohort studies that includes data from 1,518,741 individuals (HCC n = 1423, ICC n = 410). Multivariable-adjusted hazards ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using proportional hazards regression. Current smokers at baseline had an increased risk of HCC (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.86, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.57–2.20) and ICC (HR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.07–2.02). Among individuals who quit smoking >30 years ago, HCC risk was almost equivalent to never smokers (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.74–1.61). Compared to non-drinkers, heavy alcohol consumption was associated with an 87% increased HCC risk (HR ≥7 drinks/day = 1.87, 95% CI: 1.41–2.47) and a 68% increased ICC risk (HR ≥5 drinks/day = 1.68, 95% CI: 0.99–2.86). However, light-to-moderate alcohol consumption of <3 drinks/day appeared to be inversely associated with HCC risk (HR >0–<0.5 drinks/day = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.67–0.89; HR >0.5–<1 drinks/day = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.44–0.73; HR 1–<3 drinks/day = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.58–0.87), but not ICC. These findings suggest that, in this relatively healthy population, smoking cessation and light-to-moderate drinking may reduce the risk of HCC.

Smoking is associated with an increased risk of HCC independent of aetiology as well as in MASLD specifically.
“Smoking has been associated with an increased risk of HCC independent of aetiology 72 as well as in MASLD speci fi cally.”
From EASL-EASD-EASO Clinical Practice Guidelines on the management of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). (2024) · cites this paper as [72]
The Discussion reports an increased HCC risk associated with smoking, and the Results report no evidence that the smoking–HCC association was modified by the factors examined. The paper does not establish that the association holds independently of every HCC aetiology; HBV/HCV status was unavailable for some participants. The citation appears before the separate MASLD-specific clause, so that clause is not assessed here. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
