About this trial
The aim of the study is to build up a bio-collection of biological samples from patients with cirrhosis. Further work using this bio-collection will permit to describe the influence of different exposome factors (nutrition, physical activity, socio-demographic conditions, tobacco, alcohol, pollutants) on the occurrence of the main type of liver cancer (called HCC).
Indeed, in the vast majority of cases, HCC develops within cirrhosis, and the factors that precipitate the progression of cirrhotic patients to HCC remain largely unknown.

Patient affiliated to or benefiting from a social security scheme
Patient having signed an informed consent to participate in the study (bio-collection)
Disqualifiers
