Core Tip Pancreatic cancer frequently spreads to the liver, contributing to its high mortality. With the rising prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), its potential impact on cancer outcomes remains uncertain. In this large cohort study of 2123 patients with pancreatic cancer, MASLD-defined by a hepatic steatosis index, was not associated with liver metastasis at diagnosis, new liver metastasis during follow-up or overall survival after adjustment for other risk factors. These findings suggest that MASLD does not significantly influence the metastatic pattern or prognosis in patients with pancreatic cancer.
