Epidemiology and Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

The major risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a contemporary clinical practice is becoming increasingly related to post sustained virological response hepatitis C, suppressed hepatitis B virus on treatment, alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We review the emerging data on the risk and determinants of HCC in these conditions, and the implications to HCC surveillance. However, from a public health perspective, active hepatitis C and B continue to drive most of the global burden of HCC. In United States, the age adjusted incidence rates of HCC in Hispanics have surpassed that of Asians. Prognosis in HCC is complex due to the competing risk imposed by underlying cirrhosis and presence of malignancy. In addition to tumor burden, liver function and performance status, additional parameters including tumor biopsy, serum markers and sub classification of current staging systems, taking into account patterns of tumor progression, may improve patient selection for therapy. Advancements in the treatment of HCC has included identification of patients that are most likely to derive a clinically significant benefit from the available therapeutic options. Additionally, the combination strategies of locoregional therapies and/or systemic therapy are being investigated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
