What a whirlwind of learning, laughter, and reconnecting with old friends and making some new ones along the way, that's always the best part.

Had a great time at #DDW2026! Was thrilled to give my first ever oral presentation on our research in MASLD and its effect on pregnancy outcomes, present a poster, and spend time with friends ✨ Bonus: got to hold a scope for the first time!

Excited to share our latest publication: the first meta-analysis evaluating pentraxin-3 as a diagnostic biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Key highlights:
🔹 Pentraxin-3 demonstrated diagnostic accuracy comparable to alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
🔹 Combining pentraxin-3 with AFP significantly improved diagnostic sensitivity
🔹 The combined biomarker approach detected 93% of HCC cases

These findings highlight pentraxin-3 as a promising complementary biomarker that may improve early HCC detection and strengthen current diagnostic strategies.
