Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has complex biological characteristics, highly heterogeneous property and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. HCC carries a dismal prognosis. Metabolic reprogramming (MR) is one of the most important features of tumor cells and the lipid metabolism has been an important mechanism underlying HCC growth and metastasis. In this article, we review the roles of common lipid and its metabolism-related molecules in carcinogenesis of HCC and provides new targets for therapy of HCC.
