Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the long-term survival benefits of surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV), comparing a surveillance group to a non-surveillance group.
- Patients in the surveillance group had smaller tumor sizes and a higher probability of having a single tumor, with a cumulative 5-year survival rate of 46% compared to 32% in the non-surveillance group.
- Findings indicate that HCC surveillance is particularly beneficial for patients in Child-Pugh class A, leading to earlier detection and better survival outcomes.
