This study, the first to explore CRC metastases in MASLD patients, shows a significant association between MASLD and liver metastases. CRC patients with MASLD had higher rates of advanced-stage disease and liver metastases at diagnosis, correlating with shorter survival and poorer prognosis. These findings underscore the importance of early screening and monitoring in CRC patients with MASLD.
Urhan et al. (2026) studied this question.
